Text: Appellant, Jose Santos Vaquera-Juanes, was charged in a single-count indictment with knowingly attempting to reenter the United States after having been previously deported. Vaquera-Juanes pleaded guilty and was sentenced to forty-nine months' imprisonment and two years' supervised release. Although he did not raise the issue during sentencing, Vaquera-Juanes now argues the district court erred by imposing a condition of supervised release without first making required findings. See United States v. Souser, 405 F.3d 1162, 1165 (10th Cir.2005) (holding a district court may not impose an occupational restriction without first finding that the criteria set forth in USSG § 5F1.5 are met). Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a), this court dismisses Vaquera-Juanes's appeal on prudential ripeness grounds.
