under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm, but remand to correct the judgment.
Dorado-Avila contends the district court plainly erred by imposing
conditions of supervised release concerning drugs and alcohol. It was not plain
error for the district court to impose a mandatory condition of supervised release
requiring Dorado-Avila to refrain from unlawful use of a controlled substance and
submit to drug testing, see 18 U.S.C. § 3563(a)(5); United States v. Carter, 159
F.3d 397, 399-400 (9th Cir. 1998), or to impose a standard discretionary condition
requiring Dorado-Avila to refrain from excessive use of alcohol or the use,
possession, distribution or administration of controlled substances without a
prescription, see 18 U.S.C. § 3563(b)(7). Any error regarding these conditions
“did not seriously affect the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of the judicial
proceedings.” See United States v. Maciel-Vasquez, 458 F.3d 994, 996 (9th Cir.
2006).
In accordance with United States v. Rivera-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1057, 1062
(9th Cir. 2000), we remand the case to the district court with instructions that it
delete from the judgment the incorrect reference to section 1326(b). See United
States v. Herrera-Blanco, 232 F.3d 715, 719 (9th Cir. 2000) (remanding sua sponte
to delete the reference to section 1326(b)).
AFFIRMED; REMANDED to correct judgment.
