UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jane Arlene WHITE, Defendant-Appellant, 31 F. App'x 105

OPINION PER CURIAM. Jane Arlene White appeals the district court’s judgment revoking her term of supervised release and sentencing her to twenty-four months in prison. White’s attorney has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), raising one issue but stating that, in his view, there are no meritorious grounds for appeal. White filed a pro se supplemental brief addressing the same issue raised by counsel. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.

White claims that the district court abused its discretion in imposing a twenty-four month sentence because it exceeded the recommended sentencing range of three to nine months set out in U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“USSG”) § 7B1.4(a) (2000). We review the reasonableness of a revocation sentence for abuse of discretion. United States v. Davis, 53 F.3d 638, 642-43 (4th Cir.1995). Based on our review of the record, we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing White to the statutory maximum sentence of twenty-four months. The sentencing ranges contained in

Chapter Seven of the Guidelines are “non-binding, advisory guides to district courts in supervised release revocation proceedings.” Davis, 53 F.3d at 642. Once a district court considers

Chapter Seven’s policy statements, the court is free to exercise its discretion to reject the suggested sentence and impose the statutorily authorized sentence it deems appropriate. Id. at 642^3. Although the district court did not explicitly mention the suggested sentencing range in imposing sentence, we find that the issue was “fully presented for determination” and thus “[cjonsideration is implicit in the court’s ultimate ruling.” Id. at 642. As required by Anders, we have examined the entire record and find no other meritorious issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment.

This court requires that counsel inform his client, in writing, of her right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If the client requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on the client. 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.
