United States v. Rivera

Opinion

*200 PER CURIAM: *

Adalberto Rivera was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than fifty grams of crack cocaine; he was sentenced to 135 months of imprisonment and a ten-year term of supervised release. He appeals the two-year term of imprisonment imposed following the revocation of his supervised release.

Although that two-year term exceeded the sentencing range indicated by the policy statements in chapter 7 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, it did not exceed the statutory maximum term of imprisonment the district court could have imposed. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3). Accordingly, Rivera’s revocation sentence was neither “unreasonable” nor “plainly unreasonable.” See United States v. Hinson, 429 F.3d 114, 120 (5th Cir. 2005), cert. denied, — U.S.—, 126 S.Ct. 1804, 164 L.Ed.2d 540 (2006). Rivera has not shown error.

AFFIRMED.
