PER CURIAM.
After Brenda Delezene pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport and sell stolen
goods, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, the district court sentenced Delezene to eight
months imprisonment and three years supervised release. In February 1998, the district
court revoked Delezene's supervised release based on her admissions to several
violations of her supervised-release conditions, which included testing positive eight
times for marijuana use. Notwithstanding the four-to-ten-month imprisonment range
suggested under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 7B1.4(a), p.s. (1997), the court
sentenced Delezene to eighteen months imprisonment and eighteen months supervised
release. Delezene appeals and we affirm.
Having carefully reviewed the record, we reject Delezene's argument that the
district court failed to consider the applicable policy statements in Chapter 7 and the
sentencing factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). We also conclude the district court did not
abuse its discretion in imposing the eighteen-month prison term. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 3583(e)(3); United States v. Kaniss,
150 F.3d 967, 968 (8th Cir. 1998) (standard of
review; Chapter 7 Guidelines are advisory and nonbinding; district court may depart
from suggested revocation imprisonment range when, in its considered discretion, the
departure is warranted).
Accordingly, we affirm.
