Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in modifying terms of defendant's supervised release by increasing from 3 to possibly 52 periodic drug tests and by imposing new requirement of submission to mental health treatment. While defendant argued that Dist. Ct. lacked jurisdiction to modify drug testing requirement, Dist. Ct. had authority under 18 USC section 3583(e) to modify said requirement and did not abuse its discretion in increasing said requirement given defendant's extensive history of drug use.
