conditions and revocation of parole. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We may affirm on any ground supported by the record. Johnson v. Riverside
Healthcare Sys. LP, 534 F.3d 1116, 1121 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm in part,
vacate in part, and remand.
We affirm the dismissal of McClellan’s claims challenging parole
conditions. See Hatton v. Bonner, 356 F.3d 955, 961-67 (9th Cir. 2004) (rejecting
ex post facto challenge); Neal v. Shimoda, 131 F.3d 818, 826-27 (9th Cir. 1997)
(same); see also United States v. Bee, 162 F.3d 1232, 1234-35 (9th Cir. 1998)
(rejecting constitutional challenge to condition of supervised release).
However, we vacate the dismissal under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477
(1994), of McClellan’s claim challenging parole revocation. The district court did
not expressly consider the Heck exception set forth in Nonnette v. Small, 316 F.3d
872 (9th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, we vacate and remand for further proceedings
on this claim.
McClellan shall bear his own costs on appeal.
AFFIRMED in part, VACATED in part, and REMANDED.
