Before MURPHY, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Toby Edward Carter appeals the sentence the district court* imposed after
revoking Carter’s supervised release. The district court sentenced Carter to 7 months
in prison, followed by a 28-day residential substance-abuse-treatment program, and
then 24 months additional supervised release. For the first time on appeal, Carter
argues the district court was not authorized to impose the additional supervised
release because 18 U.S.C. § 3583(h) was enacted after he committed the offenses
underlying his original conviction. We conclude the district court did not commit

Western District of Arkansas.
plain error in ordering supervised release because while section 3583(h) does not
apply retroactively to Carter's case, at the time of his offense 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3)
authorized the court to impose the challenged sentence. See Johnson v. United States,
529 U.S. 694
, 702, 713 (2000). We thus affirm the judgment of the district court, and
we also grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
