   United States of America,

                                                                       Plaintiff—Appellee,

                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 2:19-CR-1285-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Wiener, Elrod, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Defendant-Appellant Joshua Mason appeals his sentence, challenging
   the conditions imposed on supervised release. He contends that, although
   the pre-sentencing report (PSR) referred to the standard conditions of
   supervised release in a general order, the district court failed to sufficiently
   state those conditions at sentencing.

Case: 20-40622      Document: 00516843472          Page: 2    Date Filed: 08/02/2023

                                    No. 20-40622

          We review for plain error because Mason did not object to the
   conditions before the district court. See United States v. Grogan, 977 F.3d 348,
   352 (5th Cir. 2020). Establishing plain error requires a showing of a forfeited
   error that is clear or obvious and that affected Mason’s substantial rights.
   Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S. 129, 135 (2009).
          We see no clear or obvious error here because there is no conflict
   between the oral pronouncement of sentence and the conditions of
   supervision included in the written judgment. See United States v. Diggles, 957
   F.3d 551, 559 (5th Cir. 2020) (en banc); United States v. Vargas, 23 F.4th 526,
   528 (5th Cir. 2022). Here, the PSR expressly references the Southern
   District of Texas’s General Order 2017-01, and the district court also stated
   that it was imposing the “[s]tandard terms and conditions of supervision.”
          The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
