Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

       Keith A. Harrison appeals the district court’s order revoking

his term of supervised release and sentencing him to eighteen

months’ imprisonment.    Finding no error, we affirm.

       Harrison contends the district court erred in refusing to

admit evidence explaining why Harrison tested positive for cocaine

use.    We review for an abuse of discretion, see United States v.

Francisco, 35 F.3d 116, 118 (4th Cir. 1994), and find none.

       Harrison contends his eighteen-month sentence exceeds the

statutory maximum provided by 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (2000).     We

find the district court properly sentenced Harrison within the

statutory maximum.    See United States v. Hager, 288 F.3d 136 (4th

Cir. 2002) (holding that a defendant does not receive credit

against the maximum revocation prison term for time previously

spent on home detention).

       Accordingly, we affirm Harrison’s conviction and sentence. We

dispense with 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.
