MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK

Defendant-Appellant Omar Gallardo Torres, a citizen of Mexico, appeals the
district court’s imposition of a five-year term of supervised release that the court
labeled “inactive” while Gallardo Torres is outside the United States under a

review for an abuse of discretion, United States v. Collins,
684 F.3d 873, 888 (9th
Cir. 2012), and affirm.
A term of supervised release cannot be tolled, stayed, or suspended while a
person is outside the United States pursuant to a lawful deportation order.1 See
United States v. Ignacio Juarez,
601 F.3d 885, 890 (9th Cir. 2010) (per curiam);
United States v. Murguia-Oliveros,
421 F.3d 951, 952, 954 (9th Cir. 2005).
However, the district court here did not impose a tolled, stayed, or suspended term
of supervision. Rather, the court acknowledged that while Gallardo Torres was not
residing in the country, he could not be directly and actively supervised by the
Probation Office and would therefore be under inactive supervision. If Gallardo
Torres thereafter returned to the United States, he would then be subject to active
supervision.
AFFIRMED.

Gallardo Torres’s claim is ripe for review on direct appeal because his
supervised release term forms “a part of the district court’s sentence, which is a
final judgment subject to immediate appeal.” United States v. Rodriguez-
Rodriguez,
441 F.3d 767, 771–72 (9th Cir. 2006) (citing 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a)).
