MEMORANDUM**


2
Walter Statonel appeals the revocation of his supervised release and sentence of twenty four (24) months in custody pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3231 and 3683(e).  The district court found that Statonel had violated conditions of his supervised release by committing new crimes--stealing credit cards, forging credit card charge slips, and possessing stolen business checks.  Statonel claims that he did not know that he was on supervised release and was unaware of the condition not to commit any new crimes.


3
Regardless of whether Statonel actually knew that he was on supervised release and that he could not engage in future criminal acts during this period, such knowledge can be imputed.  United States v. Laughlin, 933 F.2d 786, 790 (9th Cir.1991);  United States v. Dane, 570 F.2d 840, 844 (9th Cir.1977).


4
Therefore, we AFFIRM the district court's revocation of Statonel's supervised release and sentence.
