Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Eugene Edmonds, Jr., appeals from the twenty

- four month sentence im posed pursuant to the revocation of his supervised release. On appeal, Edmonds asserts that his
sente nce is procedurally plainly unreasonable becaus e the district court failed to adequately explain its reasoning for the sentence imposed

. We affirm.
A se ntence imposed after revocation of supervised release should be affirmed if it is within the applicable statutory maximum and is not plainly unreasonable. United States v. Crudup , 461 F.3d 433, 439

- 40 (4th Cir. 2006). In making this determination, we fir st consider whether the sentence is unreasonable. Id. at 438. “This initial inquiry takes a more deferential appellate posture concerning issues of fact and the exercise of discretion than reasonableness review for guideline sentences.” United States v. Moulden , 478 F.3d 652, 656 (4th Cir. 2007). In making our review, we “follow generally the procedural and substantive considerations that [are] employ[ed] in [the] review of original sentences, . . . with some necessary modifications to take into account the unique nature of supervised release revocation sentences.” Crudup , 461 F.3d at 438

- 39. A sentence imposed upon revocation of release is procedurally reasonable if the district court considered the3 Chapter Seven policy statements and the 18 U.S.C. § 35 53(a) (2006) factors that it is permitted to consider. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e); Crudup , 461 F.3d at 438

- 40. A sentence imposed upon revocation of release is substantively reasonable if the district court stated a proper basis for concluding that the defe ndant should receive the sentence imposed, up to the statutory maximum. Crudup , 461 F.3d at 440. We will affirm if the sentence is not unreasonable. Id. at 439. Only if a sentence is found procedurally or substantively unreasonable will we “decide whet her the sentence is plainly unreasonable.” Id. When imposing sentence, the district court must provide individualized reasoning. See United States v. Carter , 564 F.3d 325, 328 (4th Cir. 2009). The Carter rationale applies to revocation hearings; however, “a court need not be as detailed or specific when imposing a revocation sentence as it must be when imposing a post

- conviction sentence.” United States v. Thompson , 595 F.3d 544, 547 (4th Cir. 2010). Because Edmonds did not request a sentence different from the one imposed, review is for plain error. See United States v. Lynn , 592 F.3d 572, 580 (4th Cir. 2010). We conclude that Edmonds failed to make the requisite showings. The d istrict court acknowledged that Edmonds had potential but lacked disciplin e, and that he had been given4 other opportunities to improve his life

. The court explicitly
not ed the Guidelines range (eight to fourteen months) and the statutory maximum when arriving at a sentence. In addition, the court recommended that Edmonds r ecei ve vocational training , educational opportunities, and drug rehabilitation

. Because Edmonds’ sentence is r eviewed for plain error, he must also show that there is a reasonable probability that the claimed irregularity in sentencing affected his substantia l rights and that any error affected the fairness and integrity of the judicial syst em. Edmonds’ assertion of error illustrate s essentially a disagreement with the district court’s conclusions that his behavior constituted continuing serious breaches of h is release conditions. Edmonds cannot show that his substantial rights were affected or that the sentencing error was so egregious that it called into question the fairness of the sentencing system. Accordingly, we affirm Edmonds’ sentence. We dispense

w ith oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
