Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Dacarrus Staton appeals the district court’s order revoking his supervised release an d sentencing him to twenty

four months’ imprisonment. On appeal, Staton contends that the sentence is plainly unreasonable. Finding no reversible error, we affirm. A district court has broad discretion to impose a sentence upon revoking a defendant’s s upervised release. United States v. Thompson , 595 F.3d 544, 547 (4th Cir. 2010). We will affirm unless the sentence is “plainly unreasonable” in light of the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2006) factors. United States v. Crudup , 461 F.3d 433, 437 (4th Cir. 2006). In reviewing the sentence imposed by the district court, w e first assess whether the sentence is unreasonable, “follow[ing] generally the procedural and substantive considerations that we employ in our review of original
sentences.” Id. at 4 38. A sentence is procedurally reasonable if the district court has considered the policy statements contained in chapter seven of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“USSG”) and the applicable § 3553(a) factors and has explained adequately the sentenc e chosen

. Id. at 439. A court need not, however, explain a revocation sentence in as much detail as is required upon imposition of t he original sentence. Id. A sentence is substantively reasonable if the district3 court states a proper basis for its imp osition of a sentence up to the statutory maximum. Id. at 440. If, after considering the above, we determine that the sentence is not unreasonable, we will affirm. Id. at 439. We hold that the district court’s imposition of a twenty

- four month term of imprisonment was not unreasonable. Procedurally, the district court adequately explained its chosen sentence and considered the § 3553(a) factors and USSG chapter seven policy statements. Substantively, the district court stated a proper basis and sente nced Staton within the statutory maximum. See 18 U.S.C. § 924(a) (2006) . Because we conclude that Staton’s sentence was not unreasonable, we need not consider whether it was plainly so. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. We dispense wi th 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.
