MEMORANDUM **
Robert Lee Mitchell appeals the sentence imposed following the revocation of his supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742. We review for abuse of discretion a deviation from the Chapter 7 policy statements, see United States v. Garcia, 323 F.3d 1161, 1164 (9th Cir.2003), and we affirm.
Mitchell .contends the district court abused its discretion by failing to consider the 6 to 12 month range suggested by the Chapter 7 policy statements before imposing a sentence exceeding that range. His contention is premised upon his assertion that the mandatory 12-month residential drug abuse treatment program included as a condition of his supervised release effectively increased his 8-month sentence of imprisonment to a 20-month sentence. Because community confinement in a residential treatment program does not constitute incarceration under the Guidelines, see United States v. Latimer, 991 F.2d 1509, 1511-14 (9th Cir.1993), we reject this contention.
AFFIRMED.
