PER CURIAM.

Toby Edward Carter appeals the sentence the district court*

 imposed after

revoking Carter’s supervised release. The district court sentenced Carter to 7 months

in prison, followed by a 28-day residential substance-abuse-treatment program, and

then 24 months additional supervised release. For the first time on appeal, Carter

argues the district court was not authorized to impose the additional supervised

release because 18 U.S.C. § 3583(h) was enacted after he committed the offenses

underlying his original conviction. We conclude the district court did not commit

plain error in ordering supervised release because while section 3583(h) does not

apply retroactively to Carter's case, at the time of his offense 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3)

authorized the court to impose the challenged sentence. See Johnson v. United States,

529 U.S. 694, 702, 713 (2000). We thus affirm the judgment of the district court, and

we also grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
