v.

AMANDA CELINA BERMEA,

                                                   Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:05-CR-330-1

Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Amanda Celina Bermea appeals the 30-month sentence imposed following
the revocation of her supervised release for failing to submit to drug testing,
failing to attend drug counseling, and failing to report to her probation officer.
Bermea argues that her sentence, which was above the guidelines range, is
unreasonable because it is greater than necessary to accomplish the sentencing
objectives of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).

        *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
R. 47.5.4.
  Case: 09-50345    Document: 00511001639 Page: 2        Date Filed: 01/12/2010
                                No. 09-50345

      Because Bermea did not object to the reasonableness of her sentence in the
district court, review is limited to plain error only.    See United States v.
Whitelaw, 580 F.3d 256, 259 (5th Cir. 2009). The 30-month sentence did not
exceed the statutory maximum term of imprisonment authorized upon
revocation of supervised release. Bermea has therefore not shown plain error
with regard to the reasonableness of her sentence. See id. at 265.
      AFFIRMED.
