MEMORANDUM **

Robin W. Lawrence appeals the revocation of his supervised release after he admitted to violating the terms of his supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742 . We affirm.

A district court’s decision to revoke a term of supervised release is reviewed for abuse of discretion. United States v. Musa, 220 F.3d 1096, 1100 (9th Cir.2000). Lawrence argues that the district court did not realize that it possessed the discretion to not revoke his supervised release or to sentence him below the suggested range set forth in the United States Sentencing Guidelines. U.S.S.G. § 7B1.4(a). The record, however, demonstrates that the district court recognized that it possessed discretion not to revoke Lawrence’s supervised release and was not bound by the recommended sentencing range. The district court sentenced Lawerence to the minimum term recommended by the suggested range. See id. No abuse of discretion occurred. See United States v. Tadeo, 222 F.3d 623, 625 (9th Cir.2000).

Lawrence asserts that the district court impermissibly shifted the burden of proof to him during the revocation hearing. See United States v. Turner, 312 F.3d…
