PER CURIAM.

After Joseph Paul Marshall admitted violating the conditions of his supervised

release, the district court1

 revoked it and sentenced him to 15 months in prison and 2

years of supervised release. On appeal, he argues that this sentence exceeds the legal

maximum because he received a 3-year term of supervised release when he was

originally sentenced in 1998. We disagree. “For those defendants whose offense of

conviction occurred after the 1994 changes [to the supervised release statute], the

available supervised release term is not measured by the term initially imposed by the

district court, . . . but by the term authorized in 18 U.S.C. § 3583(b) for the offense of

conviction, minus the aggregate amount of any revocation terms of imprisonment.”

United States v. Palmer, 380 F.3d 395, 398-99 (8th Cir. 2004) (en banc). Marshall’s

instant revocation sentence, added to his earlier revocation prison term of 12 months,

does not exceed the 60-month lawful maximum. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(b)(1) and (h).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and we grant

counsel’s motion to withdraw.
