Following a hearing at which Warren Lewis Alexander admitted to violating conditions of his supervised release, the district court revoked Alexander’s release and imposed a thirty-six-month sentence. Alexander appeals. His attorney has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), stating that there are no meritorious grounds for appeal. Alexander was advised of his right to file a pro se supplemental brief, but did not file such a brief. We affirm.

As required by Anders, we have carefully reviewed the entire record in this case and have found no errors. We note that, while the sentence was substantially above the advisory guideline range of six to twelve months, see U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 7B1.4(a) (1997), it was within the applicable statutory maximum of sixty months. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A) (2000). Further, while the district court explicitly recognized the advisory guideline range, the court determined that a much longer sentence was in order because of Alexander’s history of repeatedly violating the terms of supervision and the need to set an example in an attempt to deter other supervisees from violating release terms. These are permissible considerations when imposing a supervised release revocation sentence. See 18 U.S.C.A. § 3553(a) (West 2000 & Supp. 2006); 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (2000). Moreover, Alexander does not contend that the court failed to consider any pertinent § 3553(a) factors. We conclude that the sentence imposed upon revocation of *648 supervised release was not plainly unreasonable. See United States v. Crudup, 461 F.3d 433, 438-10 (4th Cir. 2006).

In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire record for any meritorious issues and have found none. Accordingly, we affirm. This court requires counsel to inform his client, in writing, of his right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If the client requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy of the motion was served on the client. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately set forth in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
