   MEMORANDUM

Antonio de Jesus Magana appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the revocation of supervised release and the 10-month sentence imposed upon revocation. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we vacate and remand for further proceedings.

Magana contends that the district court did not have a sufficient basis to revoke supervised release because he did not formally admit the violations. The record reflects that, though Magana admitted to general “wrongdoing,” he never specifically admitted to any of the five alleged violations. We, therefore, vacate the district court’s judgment revoking supervised release. Upon remand, the district court shall take Magana’s formal admission to the violations or, if Magana denies the violations, shall take evidence and make a finding whether Magana violated the conditions of supervised release. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3); Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(b)(2).

In light of this disposition, we do not reach Magana’s other claims of error.

VACATED and REMANDED.
