MIKHAIL L. FELDMAN,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of California
Thomas J. Whelan, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted September 23, 2014**
Before: W. FLETCHER, RAWLINSON, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.
Mikhail L. Feldman appeals from the district court’s judgment and
challenges a special condition of supervised release imposed upon revocation of
supervised release. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Feldman contends that the district court erred by imposing a special

condition of supervised release that requires him to submit to warrantless searches
“without reasonable or probable cause.” Specifically, he argues that (1) the court
improperly imposed the condition on the basis of a blanket policy rather than
Feldman’s individual circumstances, (2) the court failed to respond to Feldman’s
arguments against the condition, and (3) the record did not support the need for the
condition. We review for abuse of discretion, see United States v. Betts, 511 F.3d
872, 876 (9th Cir. 2007), and find none. The record reflects that the court
considered Feldman’s arguments and adequately explained why the condition was
necessary in this case. Morever, in light of Feldman’s multiple violations of
supervised release, the condition is reasonably supported by the need for deterrence
and protection of the public. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(d). Under these circumstances,
the search condition cannot be said to be an abuse of discretion. See Betts, 511
F.3d at 876.
AFFIRMED.
