follow. Having reviewed the record and Kachina’s arguments for reversal, we
conclude that a preponderance of the evidence supported the district court’s
determination that Kachina violated a special condition of his supervision, and that
the district court did not abuse its discretion by revoking his supervised release. See
United States v. Perry, 2 F.4th 1146, 1148 (8th Cir. 2021) (per curiam) (standard of
review). We also conclude that Kachina’s claim of judicial bias is inadequately
supported, and that his other claims concerning his representation, government
counsel, and the manner in which the revocation hearing was conducted do not
support reversal. See United States v. Owen, 854 F.3d 536, 541 (8th Cir. 2017);
United States v. Simms, 757 F.3d 728, 731 (8th Cir. 2014).
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
