PER CURIAM.

Rhonda L. Smith appeals the 12-month prison term the district court*

 imposed

after revoking Smith’s supervised release. Smith contends the district court abused

its discretion because it failed adequately to consider the statutory sentencing factors,

see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3), and the recommended sentencing range of 3-9 months in

U.S.S.G. § 7B1.4, p.s. We conclude the district court gave thorough consideration

to the sentencing factors, including the recommended sentencing range, see United

States v. Graves, 914 F.2d 159, 160 (8th Cir. 1990) (per curiam), and was not bound

to follow section 7B1.4’s sentencing recommendation, see United States v. Touche,

323 F.3d 1105, 1107 (8th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the

district court.
