PER CURIAM:

     Bryant Lashawn Singleton pled guilty to aiding and assisting

an attempted escape of a federal prisoner, in violation of 18

U.S.C. § 752(a) (1994).   The district court sentenced Singleton to

eighteen months’ imprisonment, followed by a three year supervised

release term.   Thereafter, the district court revoked Singleton’s

supervised release and imposed a twenty-four month term of impris-

onment based on several admitted violations.

     Singleton’s sole claim on appeal is that his twenty-four month

sentence was unreasonable because it exceeded the recommended sen-

tencing range of six to twelve months.   Finding no abuse of discre-

tion in the district court’s revocation sentence, we affirm.    See

United States v. Davis, 

 (4th Cir. 1995).    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.
