                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

       William Cooper directly appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised
release. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court did

      1
       The Honorable John A. Jarvey, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Southern District of Iowa.
not clearly err in finding that the government demonstrated by a preponderance of the
evidence that Cooper violated the conditions of his supervised release. See 18 U.S.C.
ยง 3583(e)(3) (court may revoke supervised release if it finds by preponderance of
evidence that defendant violated conditions of supervised release); United States v.
Perkins, 
526 F.3d 1107
, 1109 (8th Cir. 2008) (fact-finding as to whether violation
occurred is reviewed for clear error). Accordingly, we affirm.
