Araujo-Rios contends that the district court erred by failing to advise him of
his right under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.1(b)(2) to contest the
allegations against him and have a hearing at which he could present evidence or
question any adverse witness. We decline Araujo-Rios’s invitation to read United
States v. Stocks, 104 F.3d 308 (9th Cir. 1997), as requiring Rule 32.1(b)(2)
advisements at his revocation hearing. See United States v. Segal, 549 F.2d 1293,
1298-1300 (9th Cir. 1977); see also Bostic v. Carlson, 884 F.2d 1267, 1272 (9th
Cir. 1989) (noting that this court has refused to extend such procedural protections
to proceedings less formal than state and federal criminal trials). Araujo-Rios was
afforded his Rule 32.1(b)(2) rights. Araujo-Rios was given written notice of the
allegations against him, in which the evidence against him was disclosed. He
appeared at a revocation hearing, at which he was represented by counsel, and
during which he had the opportunity to present evidence and question any adverse
witness, though he declined to do so.
Araujo-Rios also contends that the district court erred by failing to: (1)
calculate the Guideline range; (2) address the probation report’s sentencing
recommendation; (3) meaningfully address the 18 U.S.C § 3553(a) sentencing
factors; and (4) provide any explanation for the sentence. The record indicates that

any error — if indeed there was error — did not affect Araujo-Rios’s substantial
rights. See United States v. Dallman, 533 F.3d 755, 761-62 (9th Cir. 2008).
The government’s motion for judicial notice is granted. See Fed. R. Evid.

AFFIRMED.
