UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Thomas Jermaine ROBINSON, a/k/a Tony, Defendant-Appellant, 594 F. App'x 193

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Thomas Robinson appeals his forty-month sentence imposed upon revocation of his supervised release. On appeal, Robinson’s counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), certifying that there are no meritorious grounds for appeal but questioning whether Robinson’s sentence is plainly unreasonable. Although notified of his right to do so, Robinson has not filed a pro se supplemental brief.

We affirm. “A district court has broad discretion when imposing a sentence upon revocation ■ of supervised release.” United States v. Webb, 738 F.3d 638, 640 (4th Cir.2013). We will affirm a sentence imposed upon revocation of supervised release if it is within the applicable statutory maximum and not plainly unreasonable. United States v. Crudup, 461 F.3d 433, 438 (4th Cir.2006). In determining whether a revocation sentence is plainly unreasonable, we first assess the sentence for procedural and substantive unreasonableness. Id. at 438-39.

In this initial inquiry, we take a “more deferential appellate posture concerning issues of fact and the exercise of discretion than reasonableness review for guidelines sentences.” United States v. Moulden, 478 F.3d 652, 656 (4th Cir.2007) (internal quotation marks omitted). “In exercising its discretion ..., a district court is guided by the

Chapter Seven policy statements in the federal Guidelines manual, as well as the statutory factors applicable to revocation sentences under 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a), 3583(e).” Webb, 738 F.3d at 641. A supervised release revocation sentence is procedurally reasonable if the district court properly calculates the Guidelines range and adequately explains the sentence after considering the

Chapter Seven advisory policy statements and the appropriate § 3553(

a) factors. 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (2012); United States v. Thompson, 595 F.3d 544, 547 (4th Cir.2010). A revocation sentence is substantively reasonable if the district court states a proper basis for concluding that the defendant should receive the sentence imposed, up to the statutory maximum. Crudup, 461 F.3d at 440. Only if a sentence is procedurally or substantively unreasonable will we “then decide whether the sentence is plainly unreasonable.” Id. at 439. A sentence is plainly unreasonable if it is clearly or obviously unreasonable. Id.

In this case, the record reveals no procedural or substantive error by the district court. We thus conclude that Robinson’s sentence is not plainly unreasonable. In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore affirm the district court’s judgment revoking Robinson’s supervised release and the sentence the court imposed. This court requires that counsel inform Robinson, in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review.

If Robinson 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 Robinson. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED.
