   Case: 09-20406       Document: 00511598009         Page: 2     Date Filed: 09/09/2011

                               Nos. 09-20406 & 09-40635

Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       On May 2, 2011, this court issued an opinion holding that Oscar Danilo
Garcia-Rodriguez was “released from imprisonment” for purposes of 18 U.S.C.
§ 3624(e) when he was transferred from Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody to
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. United States v. Garcia-
Rodriguez, 640 F.3d 129, 134 (5th Cir. 2011). We retained jurisdiction over the
case and issued a limited remand to the district court for the purpose of
determining, inter alia, the precise date on which Garcia was transferred from
BOP custody to ICE custody. We received the district court’s Report of Findings
on July 7, 2011, and the parties declined to file supplemental letter briefs
addressing the content and application of the district court’s factual findings. We
now issue this dispositive opinion addressing the sole issue on appeal: whether
the district court had jurisdiction to revoke Garcia’s three-year term of
supervised release in Case No. 09-40635.
       The district court found that “Garcia was transferred from BOP custody
to ICE custody on October 28, 2005.” We review the district court’s factual
finding for clear error. See, e.g., United States v. Moore, 635 F.3d 774, 776 (5th
Cir. 2011). We do not find, and the parties do not argue, that the district court’s
determination of Garcia’s transfer date of October 28, 2005, was clearly
erroneous. Therefore, because the revocation warrant was issued on October 24,
2008, less than three years after Garcia’s transfer, we hold that the district court
had jurisdiction to revoke Garcia’s supervised release. See United States v.
Jackson, 426 F.3d 301, 304 (5th Cir. 2005).
       AFFIRMED.

       *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
