George R. Gurs appeals from the district court’s finding that he violated his supervised release conditions and from its modification of those conditions. We affirm.

The district court did not clearly err in finding that Gurs changed employment without notifying his probation officer within 72 hours. Gurs ended his work for Jack Hessel in early August 2001 but did not notify his probation officer of any change until the end of the month. See United States v. Jolibois, 294 F.3d 1110, 1114 (9th Cir.2002) (violation of supervised release determined by defendant’s conduct); 18 U.S.C. § 3583 (e)(3) (preponderance of evidence sufficient to find violation).

The modification of the conditions of supervised release, requiring that Gurs obtain prior approval of any further self-employment, including consulting, is reviewed for plain error because Gurs made no objection to the modification at the hearing.
