                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Louisiana
                             USDC No. 6:06-CR-60056-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         David Randolph Yeager, Jr., pleaded true to a violation of a supervised
   release condition following a state conviction on child pornography charges.
   The district court sentenced him to 36 months in prison, to be served
   consecutively to the state sentence, and imposed a lifetime term of
   supervised release.

Case: 23-30213     Document: 00516980642           Page: 2   Date Filed: 11/28/2023

                                    No. 23-30213

          Yeager challenges the substantive reasonableness of his revocation
   sentence. This court reviews “a sentence imposed after revocation of
   supervised release under the plainly unreasonable standard of review.”
   United States v. Winding, 817 F.3d 910, 913 (5th Cir. 2016).
          Consecutive sentencing is the express policy of the Sentencing
   Guidelines in the revocation context. United States v. Flores, 862 F.3d 486,
   489 (5th Cir. 2017); U.S.S.G. § 7B1.3(f) & comment. (n.4). Further, the
   length of the sentence and the life term of supervised release were supported
   by the record, and we have repeatedly affirmed statutory maximum sentences
   above the revocation policy range. See United States v. Warren, 720 F.3d 321,
   332 (5th Cir. 2013). Thus, Yeager has not shown that the sentence is plainly
   unreasonable.
          AFFIRMED.
