MEMORANDUM*

4
Arthur Rochelle appeals the district court's order revoking his supervised release from a 1993 wire fraud conviction and imposing a 12-month consecutive sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583.  We affirm.

5
First, we reject Rochelle's claim that the district court failed to consider the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) when it revoked Rochelle's supervised release.  Because the record does not show otherwise, we assume "that the district court knows and applies the law correctly, and therefore considers the factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)."  United States v. Cervantes-Valenzuela, 931 F.2d 27, 29 (9th Cir.1991).  Moreover, because we may consider de novo whether the § 3553(a) factors support revocation of supervised release, we find that the district court did not incorrectly apply the statute or the Sentencing Guidelines.  See United States v. Lockard, 910 F.2d 542, 543-44 (9th Cir.1990).

6
Second, we find that the district court met the requirement of making a general statement on the record of its reasons for imposing a 12-month consecutive sentence that is within the Guidelines range.  Id. at 546.

7
AFFIRMED.
