____________ ____________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia

________________________ (July 7, 2014) Before WILSON , MART IN, and ANDERSON , Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Justin Mosely appeals the 14

- month sentence imposed by the district court pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) following the second revocation of his

Case: 13-15365 Date Filed: 07/07/2014 Page: 1 of 62 supervised release. Mosely argues that his sentence is procedurally unreasonable because the district court failed to consider the advisory guideline range and other 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors before imposing sentence. After careful review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we affirm. In August 2010, Mosely pleaded guilty to the ft from a federal firearm licensee and was sentenced to 24

- months imprisonment to be followed by three years of supervised release. After his release from prison, the district court revoked Mosely’s supervised release in October 2012 because he admitted u sing a controlled substance and associating with a person engaged in criminal activity. The district court sentenced him to six

- months imprisonment to be followed by two years of supervised release. Shortly after he was released from that term in prison, o n August 16, 2013 Mosely’s probation officer petitioned to revoke his supervised release again , stating that Mosely possessed a controlled substance, associated with people engaged in criminal activity, and associated with a convi cted felon without permi ssion. At his revocation hearing Mosely admitted the violations in the petition. The district court noted that this was the second time in 12 months that Mosely had been in court for using illegal drugs. After hearing from Mosely, the district court told him that he sounded sincere, but found that his actions spoke “even louder.” The district court sentenced Mosely to 14

- months imprisonment to be followed by

Case: 13-15365 Date Filed: 07/07/2014 Page: 2 of 63 16 months of supervised release. After imposing the sentence, t he district court stated: “ The Court, of course, prior to entering the sentence, has considered the Sentencing Commission Chapter 7 policy statements.” Neither party objected to the district court’s findings of fact or conclusions of law. Mosely’s written judgment stated that t he s entence was “ imposed pursuant to the Se ntencing Reform Act of 1984,” and described Mosely’s underlying plea and sentence, his first release revocation and sentence, and the facts underlying the revocation at issue here . The district c ourt also stated Mosl ey was “ forthright [in] accepting responsibility for his criminal associations and possession of marihuana. The Court notes that the defendant’s admission and apology seem sincere; however, the defendant’s conduct under supervision is what t he Court must consider.” The judgment stated that the court had imposed sentence “after considering the Cha pter Seven Policy Statements.” Because Mosely did not object to any procedural deficiencies before the district court, our review is for plain error. See United States v. Rodriguez , 627 F.3d 1372, 1380 (11th Cir. 2010). Establishing plain error requires a demonstration of error that is plain that affected both substantial rights and the fairness of the judicial proceedings. Id. The defe ndant bears the burden of showing prejudice. United States v. Rodriguez , 398 F.3d 1291, 1299

– 300 (11th Cir. 2005). Case: 13-15365 Date Filed: 07/07/2014 Page: 3 of 64 In reviewing the procedural reasonableness of a sentence, we examine whether the district court considered the § 3553(a) factors and adequa tely explained the chosen sentence. Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S. Ct. 586, 597 (2007). A district court is not required to discuss on the record each of the § 3553(a) factors. United States v. Gonzalez , 550 F.3d 1319 , 1324 (11th Cir. 200 8 ) (per curiam)

. An acknowledgment that it has considered the factors together with the parties’ arguments is sufficient. Id. Upon determining that a defendant violated a condition of supervised release, the district court may revoke the term of supervision and impose a term of impr isonment after considering: (1) the applicable guideline range; (2) the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and charac teristics of the defendant; (3) the need for the sentence imposed to aff ord adequate deterrence, protect the public, and effectively provide the defendant with needed training, medical care, or ot her correctional treatment; (4) the applicable Sentencing Co mmission policy statements; (5) the need to avoid unwarrante d sentence d isparities; and (6) the need to provide restitution. 18 U.S.C. § § 3553(a), 3583(e); see also United States v. Campbell , 473 F.3 d 1345, 1348 (11th Cir. 2007) (per curiam)

. Mosely has not shown that the district court committed an error that was plain during his sentencing. The district court explicitly discussed Mosely’s

Case: 13-15365 Date Filed: 07/07/2014 Page: 4 of 65 history, the circumstances of his violation, and the arguments of the parties. It also stated that it h ad considered the “ Chapter 7 policy statements ,” which include the § 3553(a) factors an d the advisory guideline range. Given this record and our precedent, the district court sufficiently explained its sentence. See Gonzalez , 550 F.3d at 1324

. Further, Mosely has cited no authority for his argument that district courts must acknowledge the Chapter 7 policy statements before handing down a
sentence , and we have found none

. In any event , Mosely has not established that, but for the district court’s failur es to state his guideline range and provide more references to the sentencing factors, there is a reasonable probability he would have received a lower sentence. See United States v. Cartwright , 413 F.3d 1295, 1300

– 01 (11th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) ; Rodriguez , 398 F.3d at 1299

– 300

. Mosely’s prison sentence was statutorily valid, as he was eligible for a release

- r evocation sentence of up to two

years imprisonment. See 18 U.S.C. § § 924(i)(1), 3559(a)(3), 3583(e)(3). His 14

- month sentence was a 5

- mont h upward variance from the top of his guideline
range. See USSG § § 7B1.1(a)(3), 7B1.4(a)

. Because the effect of any alleged procedural deficiencies during Mosely’s sentencing is at best uncertain , he has not met his burden of est ablishing prejudice under plain error review. See Cartwright , 413 F.3d at 1300

– 01; Rodriguez , 398 F.3d at 1299

– 300. Therefore , we affirm Mosely’s sentence.
