UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Tyrone BROWNE, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 02-4356.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Aug. 13, 2002.
    Decided Aug. 29, 2002.
    
      Frank W. Dunham, Jr., Federal Public Defender, Robert J. Wagner, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellant. Paul J. McNulty, United States Attorney, Sara E. Flannery, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before WILLIAMS, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
    Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM:

Tyrone Browne appeals the district court’s order that revoked his supervised release and sentenced him to thirteen months in prison to be followed by forty-seven months of supervised release. The court concluded Brown failed to pay restitution as directed, failed to follow his probation officer’s instructions to file an ineome/expense form, failed to work regularly, and tested positive for drug use. On appeal, Browne does not dispute these violations but asserts his thirteen-month sentence was unreasonable because the court did not take into account mitigating circumstances concerning Browne’s fiancée’s illness. We disagree. It is clear from the record that the district court imposed a sentence below the statutory maximum in order to provide Browne with another opportunity to rehabilitate himself. Therefore, we conclude the thirteen-month sentence was not unreasonable and affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions of the parties are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
