Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Lashaver Sintel Green appeals the district court’s order revoking his supervised release and imposing a sentence o f 4 months’ imprisonment followed by an additional 24

- month term of supervised release. Green’s counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that there are no meritorious grounds for appeal but questioning whether t he district court abused its discretion by revoking Green’s supervised release. Green also asserts that his trial counsel admitted the violation without Green’s knowledge or consent and that counsel was ineffective. We affirm. We review the district cou rt’s revocation of supervised release for abuse of discretion. United States v. Pregent , 190 F.3d 279, 282 (4th Cir. 1999). The district court need only find a violation of a release condition by a preponderance of the evidence. 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) ( 201 8 ). We have reviewed the record, including the transcript of the revocation hearing, and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by finding by a preponderance of the evidence that Green violated a condition of his supervised relea se. The record also belies Green’s assertion that his counsel admitted the violation without Green’s knowledge or con s ent. W e decline to address Green’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on direct appeal. See United States v. Faulls , 821 F.3d
5 02, 507

- 08 (4th Cir. 2016) (“Unless an attorney’s ineffectiveness conclusively appears on the face of the record, such claims are not addressed on direct appeal.”). In accordance with Anders , we have reviewed the entire record in this appeal and have fou nd no meritorious grounds for appeal. We therefore affirm the district court’s judgment

. This court requires that counsel inform Green , in writing, of the right to petition3 the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Green requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Green

. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
