### FILED November 7, 2023 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk Case: 23-20002 Document: 00516958884 Page: 1 Date Filed: 11/07/2023No. 23-20002

2 behavior therapy (CBT) and mental health treatment programs. The district court’s oral pronouncement did not specify whether Suazo-Euceda was required to pay the costs of either prog ram. The written judgment, however, ordered that the costs of CBT be paid for by Suazo-Euceda and that the costs of mental health treatment be paid for by Suazo-Euceda, if he was financially able. On appeal, Suazo-Euceda first challenges the imposition of both CBT and mental health treatment programs as special conditions of supervised release without sufficient explanation or evidence as to why both were necessary. Because Suazo-Euceda did not object to the imposition of both special conditions before the district cour t, we review for plain error. United States v. Bree , 927 F.3d 856, 859 (5th Cir. 2019). Accordingly, he must show an error that is clear or obvious and th at affects his substantial rights. See Puckett v. United States , 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009). If he makes such a showing, this court has the discretion to correct th e error if it “seriously affects the fairness, integrity, or public reput ation of judicial proceedings.” Id. (internal quotation marks, alteration, and citati ons omitted). Ordinarily, the court “do[es] not find plain error when [it has] not previously addressed an issue.” United States v. Evans , 587 F.3d 667, 671 (5th Ci r. 2009) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Suazo-Euceda cites no binding precedent stating that the imposition of both CBT and mental health treat ment programs constitutes error. Additionally, contrary to Suazo-Euceda ’s assertion, the record evidence supports a finding that both CBT an d mental health treatment conditions were warranted. At most, his argument th at the court erred in this regard is subject to reasonable debate; thus, he ca nnot establish clear or obvious error. See Puckett , 556 U.S. at 135. Accordingly, Suazo-Euceda cannot demonstrate that the district court plainly erred by imposing both CB T and mental health treatment programs as sp ecial conditions of his supervised release. See id

3 Next, Suazo-Euceda challenges the requirement in the written judgment that he pay the costs of the CBT program, without regard for his ability to do so. Because the district co urt did not orally state at sentencing that Suazo-Euceda must pay the cost s of the CBT program, Suazo-Euceda had no opportunity to object to that portion of the condition, and review is for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Diggles , 957 F.3d 551, 559 (5th Cir. 2020) (en banc). The parties ag ree and the record reflects that the requirement that Suazo-Euceda pa y for the costs of CBT, without consideration of his financial ability, is inconsistent the court’s intent in imposing the conditions of supervised re lease. This court has the discretion to modify special conditions to confor m them to the district court’s apparent intent without vacating or remanding to the district court. United States v. Abbate , 970 F.3d 601, 607 n.36 (5th Cir. 2020); see 28 U.S.C. § 2106. Accordingly, we AFFIRM and MODIFY the judgment to reflect that Suazo-Euceda pay the costs of th e CBT program, if financially able. Case: 23-20002 Document: 00516958884 Page: 3 Date Filed: 11/07/2023
