Before FAGG, WOLLMAN,1 and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Gregory Duane Bradley was previously sentenced to a total of ninety-three
months’ imprisonment and four years’ supervised release for armed robbery and
firearm offenses. While serving his supervised release, he committed the state offenses

of criminal mischief and fleeing. The district court2 then revoked Bradley’s supervised
release and ordered him to serve five months’ imprisonment and, upon his release from
imprisonment, to complete the remainder of his original term of supervised release
through his original supervised release termination date. Bradley appeals, challenging
the reimposition of supervised release and the district court’s refusal to order the
Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to perform surgery on him to correct his temporal mandibular
joint syndrome (TMJ). We affirm.

       Based on the armed-robbery offense that resulted in his original term of
supervised release, Bradley was subject to up to three years’ imprisonment upon
revocation of supervised release. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3); 18 U.S.C. § 2113(d);
18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(2). Because the five-month prison sentence Bradley received was
less than the maximum authorized, the district court was entitled to impose an
additional term of supervised release so long as the imprisonment and additional
supervised release did not exceed Bradley’s original term of supervised release. See
18 U.S.C. § 3583(h); United States v. St. John, 92 F.3d 761, 766 (8th Cir. 1996). The
revocation sentence was proper because it did not exceed Bradley’s original four-year
term of supervised release, and his argument on appeal thus fails.

      We further reject Bradley’s contention that the district court judge, who
recommended that Bradley receive appropriate treatment for his TMJ, erred by failing
to order surgery. See Jones v. United States, 91 F.3d 623, 624-25 (3rd Cir. 1996)
(under 18 U.S.C. § 4042(a)(2), BOP shall provide for safekeeping and care of federal
prisoners).

      Finally, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and deny the pending pro se
motion.
