MEMORANDUM **
Elmo Taylor Jr. appeals the district court’s revocation of his supervised re *853 lease. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583 (e)(3). We affirm.
Taylor’s Confrontation Clause rights were not violated because even if the pay stubs that showed his use of a false social security number with two different employers were hearsay, his submitting the pay stubs to his probation officer constitutes an adoptive admission because he submitted them as proof of employment. See United States v. Camilo, 16 F.3d 1046, 1048-49 (9th Cir.1994) (finding that drug dealer manifested adoption of drug tally sheet by possessing the slip of paper when arrested and negotiating sale prices and quantities for cocaine that were consistent with the figures on the slip of paper).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by finding that the pay stubs established by a preponderance of the evidence that Taylor violated 42 U.S.C. § 408 (a)(7)(B), because his use of the same false social security number at two different jobs is sufficient to establish that he falsely represented that the number was his with the intent to deceive the employers into paying him under that number.
