procedural history are familiar to the parties, we do not recite them here except as

necessary to explain our disposition. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

1291. We affirm in part, and reverse and remand in part. 

The district court did not err when it ruled that Denham knowingly,

intelligently, and voluntarily waived his Miranda right to remain silent when he

confessed. See Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 475 (1966); Colorado v.

Connelly, 479 U.S. 157, 170–71 (1986). When we consider the totality of the

circumstances surrounding his waiver, United States v. Garibay, 143 F.3d 534, 536

(9th Cir. 1998), and the particular facts of Denham’s “background, age, and

conduct,” North Carolina v. Butler, 441 U.S. 369, 374–75 (1979), it is apparent

that Denham understood and knowingly waived his right to silence. The police

twice advised Denham of his right to remain silent before questioning him. 

Denham indicated to the police that he understood and knew his rights by nodding

his head affirmatively after each time he was read his rights. Denham also stated

during the interview that “I’m not stupid, I’ve served time in federal prison. I

know my rights. I know the law. . . . So this is not my first time, okay, through this

. . . .” 

Moreover, while Denham did not expressly waive his Miranda rights, his

course of conduct indicated that he impliedly waived them. See Berghuis v.
3

Thompkins, 130 S. Ct. 2250, 2262–63 (2010). After being advised of his rights,

Denham answered the detectives’ questions, asked his own questions, and sought

to negotiate a deal on his own behalf. 

The district court also did not err in ruling that Denham’s confession was

voluntary. Under the totality of the circumstances, the record does not show that

the threats by the police to arrest Denham’s father-figure, Mr. Fisher, coerced

Denham into confessing. Garibay, 143 F.3d at 536; see also United States v.

McShane, 462 F.2d 5, 7 (9th Cir. 1972); cf. Lynumn v. Illinois, 372 U.S. 528, 534

(1963); United States v. Tingle, 658 F.2d 1332 (9th Cir. 1981). Rather, Denham

spent hours trying to figure out what information the police had and did not

confess until almost two hours after the first discussion about Fisher occurred. 

Denham also spent much of the interview seeking to negotiate a deal and spent “a

lot more time talking about [his] car than he [did] talking about Mr. Fisher.” 

The district court did not err when it did not hold a Franks hearing. See

Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154 (1978). Denham fails to show that any errors or

omissions in Detective Carver’s affidavit were deliberate or reckless, or that the

affidavit was insufficient to establish probable cause even without the allegedly

false statements. See United States v. Meek, 366 F.3d 705, 716 (9th Cir. 2004); 

United States v. Chavez-Miranda, 306 F.3d 973, 979 (9th Cir. 2002).

The parties agree that the district court erred when it sentenced Denham to

five years of supervised release. Denham pled guilty to bank burglary, 18 U.S.C. §

2113(a), and being a felon in possession of a firearm, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The

bank burglary charge has a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty years,

making it a Class C felony with a statutory authorized term of supervised release of

three years. See 18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(3). The felon in possession of a firearm

charge, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), has a maximum ten-year penalty, 18 U.S.C. §

924(a)(1), and therefore does not have a higher term of supervised release. The

terms of the supervised release may not be imposed consecutively. See United

States v. Sanders, 67 F.3d 855, 856 (9th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we reverse and

remand for re-sentencing on this issue.

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED and REMANDED in part.
