Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Rudolph G. Stanko appeals the revocation of his supervised release and the imposition of special conditions of supervised release. He also raises constitutional challenges based on the right to due process, right to jury trial, privilege against self-incrimination, and separation of powers. We affirm.
Sufficient evidence supports the district court's findings that Stanko violated his conditions of supervised release. See United States v. King, 608 F.3d 1122, 1129-30 (9th Cir.2010). These conditions of supervised release were not unconstitutionally vague as applied to him. See United States v. King, 608 F.3d 1122, 1128 (9th Cir.2010) (citations and quotation marks omitted). Stanko was not entitled to a jury trial in his supervised release proceedings. See United States v. Huerta-Pimental, 445 F.3d 1220, 1225 (9th Cir. 2006). He did not invoke his Fifth Amendment privilege when he was first asked about his association with a felon, and he cannot do so now. See Minnesota v. Murphy, 465 U.S. 420, 427, 104 S.Ct. 1136, 79 L.Ed.2d 409 (1984). The Judiciary does not "interfere[] with a function reserved exclusively for the Executive" by implementing the system of supervised release. United States v. Mejia-Sanchez, 172 F.3d 1172, 1175 (9th Cir.1999).
Though the district court did not make separate findings regarding the two special conditions it imposed, the reasons may be discerned, and the record of Stanko's violations and previous crimes justify these conditions. See United States v. Rearden, 349 F.3d 608, 619 (2003).
AFFIRMED.
