PER CURIAM:

           Jeffrey James Ayers appeals the twelve-month sentence

imposed after the district court revoked his supervised release.

He challenges the supervised release revocation in the first

instance   and   asserts   that   the   sentence   imposed   is   plainly

unreasonable.    We affirm.

           Ayers first asserts that the district court erred by

revoking his supervised release.          At the revocation hearing,

however, Ayers admitted that he had used cocaine.      Thus, we find no

abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision to revoke

supervised release.   See United States v. Davis, 53 F.3d 638, 642-

43 (4th Cir. 1995) (stating standard of review).

           Ayers also asserts that the district court should have

modified his term of supervised release to include drug treatment

and that the court plainly erred by imposing an additional term of

supervised release.   Our review of the record leads us to conclude

that the district court did not err in imposing an additional term

of supervised release.     We also note that, although the district

court did not have the benefit of our decision in United States v.

Crudup, 461 F.3d 433 (4th Cir. 2006), petition for cert. filed, __

U.S.L.W. __ (U.S. Nov. 3, 2006) (No. 06-7631), to guide its

imposition of Ayers’ revocation sentence, we conclude that Ayers’

sentence is not plainly unreasonable.

                                  - 2 -
          Accordingly, we affirm.   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.

                                                          AFFIRMED

                              - 3 -
