UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 16-4750
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
DAVID DEANGELO MCNEIL,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina,
at Charlotte. Robert J. Conrad, Jr., District Judge. (3:12-cr-00229-RJC-1)
Submitted: April 25, 2017 Decided: April 27, 2017

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
David Deangelo McNeil appeals the district court’s judgment revoking his
supervised release and sentencing him to a prison term of one year and one day. Finding
no reversible error, 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 revocation sentence if it is within the statutory maximum and is not ‘plainly
unreasonable.’”
Id. “When reviewing whether a revocation sentence is plainly
unreasonable, we must first determine whether it is unreasonable at all.” United States v.
Thompson,
595 F.3d 544, 546 (4th Cir. 2010). A revocation sentence is procedurally
reasonable if the district court adequately explains the sentence after considering the
Sentencing Guidelines’ Chapter Seven policy statements and the applicable 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) (2012) factors. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (2012);
Thompson, 595 F.3d at 546-
47. If there is no significant procedural error, we then consider the sentence’s substantive
reasonableness under the totality of the circumstances. See Gall v. United States,
552
U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
McNeil claims that his sentence is procedurally unreasonable because the district
court failed to explain adequately its reasons for imposing a prison term of one year and
one day. Having reviewed the record, we find the district court’s explanation sufficient.
See
Thompson, 595 F.3d at 547 (discussing standard). We also reject McNeil’s argument
that his sentence, which exceeded by one day the applicable Sentencing Guidelines’
advisory policy statement range, is substantively unreasonable.
2
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
