CHRISTOPHER JORDAN,
                                                 MEMORANDUM *
              Defendant–Appellant.

                 On Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Central District of California
             Judge Robert H. Whaley, Senior District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted January 14, 2010 **
                               Pasadena, California

Before: SCHROEDER, CANBY, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.

       Christopher Jordan appeals an order of the district court revoking his term of

supervised release. Jordan contends that the district court abused its discretion and

committed reversible errors of law and fact in finding that he had violated seven

conditions of his supervision.

       The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral
argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
         We review for an abuse of discretion a district court’s decision to revoke a

term of supervised release. United States v. Verduzco, 330 F.3d 1182, 1184

(9th Cir. 2003). Under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3), a district court may “revoke a term

of supervised release . . . if the court . . . finds by a preponderance of the evidence

that the defendant violated a condition of supervised release.” 18 U.S.C.

§ 3583(e)(3). Therefore, revocation of a term of supervised release can be “based

upon only one violation.” United States v. Daniel, 209 F.3d 1091, 1094 (9th Cir.

2000).

         At his revocation hearing in the district court, Jordan admitted that he had

violated two conditions of his supervision: namely, operating a motor vehicle with

a suspended or revoked driver’s license and failing to make restitution payments.

Because Jordan admitted to two violations, the district court did not abuse its

discretion in revoking Jordan’s term of supervised release. See, e.g., United States

v. Jeremiah, 493 F.3d 1042, 1045 (9th Cir. 2007) (upholding the revocation of

appellant’s term of supervised release on the sole basis that appellant had “missed

making at least some full restitution payments”). We therefore need not address

Jordan’s challenges to several other violations found by the district court.

         The order of the district court is

         AFFIRMED.
