offenses. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C § 1291. We affirm in Appeal No.
21-10258, and we vacate the challenged conditions and remand in Appeal No. 21-
10259.
In Appeal No. 21-10258, Garibaldi-Lopez does not make any arguments
concerning the district court’s decision to revoke supervised release or the sentence
imposed upon revocation. Accordingly, any challenge to the revocation judgment
is waived, see United States v. Kama, 394 F.3d 1236, 1238 (9th Cir. 2005), and we
affirm that judgment.
In Appeal No. 21-10259, Garibaldi-Lopez challenges two supervised release
conditions, arguing that they impermissibly delegate judicial functions to the
probation officer. After the district court entered judgment, we struck down the
precise conditions challenged by Garibaldi-Lopez, holding that the defendant’s
challenge to those conditions was not barred by the appeal waiver and that the
conditions impermissibly delegated to the probation officer the authority to
determine the nature and extent of the defendant’s punishment. See United States
v. Nishida, 53 F.4th 1144, 1149, 1151-55 (9th Cir. 2022). Accordingly, we vacate
special conditions one and four and remand for the district court to clarify the
scope of authority delegated to the probation officer consistent with Nishida.
Appeal No. 21-10258: AFFIRMED.
Appeal No. 21-10259: VACATED in part and REMANDED.
