MEMORANDUM **

Mikeal James Mavrinac appeals the sentence imposed upon him when his term of supervised release was revoked. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3). We vacate the sentence and remand.

In light of the facts of this case, except as hereafter noted, it was not an abuse of discretion for the district court to decide to impose a lengthy prison sentence upon Mavrinac when it revoked his term of supervised release. See United States v. Tadeo, 222 F.3d 623, 626 (9th Cir. 2000); United States v. Musa, 220 F.3d 1096, 1101 (9th Cir. 2000). The district court properly considered the applicable advisory policy statements1 and the sentencing factors involved,2 and sentenced within the appropriate statutory maxima.3 However, the district court did apparently believe that it was required to look to and follow the Guideline range for the underlying crimes to the extent possible 4 once it deviated from the policy statements themselves.5 We cannot say that but for that the district court would have imposed as lengthy a supervised release revocation sentence. Thus, we must vacate and remand for further consideration. Cf. Koon v. United States, 518 U.S. 81, 113-14, 116 S.Ct. 2035, 2053-54, 135 L.Ed.2d 392 (1996); Williams v. United States, 503 U.S. 193, 202-03, 112 S.Ct. 1112, 1120-21, 117 L.Ed.2d 341 (1992); United States, v. Robinson, 63 F.3d 889, 891 (9th Cir. 1995); *532United States v. Rodriguez-Razo, 962 F.2d 1418, 1424-25 (9th Cir. 1992).

VACATED and REMANDED.
