Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

The district court imposed on Shem Bailey a sixteen-month sentence after he

admitted violating the terms of his supervised release. Bailey appeals, arguing that the

district court lacked jurisdiction over the revocation proceeding because an arrest warrant

or summons did not issue prior to the expiration of his supervised release term. In

response, the Government produced the arrest warrant based on Bailey’s alleged

violations of supervised release. The arrest warrant was issued during Bailey’s term of

supervised release and vested the district court with jurisdiction over this matter. As a

result, the sole issue that Bailey raises on appeal lacks merit. Accordingly, we affirm the

revocation judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
