PER CURIAM.
Shortly before Theodore Manos began serving a life term of supervised release
in the District of Nebraska, he filed a motion to transfer jurisdiction over his
supervision to the District of Minnesota and to modify some conditions of his release.

-- 1 of 2 --

The district court1 denied Manos’s motion, initially and upon reconsideration, and he
appeals.
Because Manos was not yet on supervised release when he requested a transfer
of jurisdiction and a modification of terms, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in denying his motion. See 18 U.S.C. § 3605 (sentencing court
may transfer jurisdiction over person on supervised release to another district court
with concurrence of that court); see also United States v. Henkel, 358 F.3d 1013,
1015 (8th Cir. 2004) (noting that prisoner may apply to district court for appropriate
modification under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(2) upon release).
