PER CURIAM.
John Person appeals the eight-month prison sentence imposed by the district
court1 upon revocation of his supervised release. We affirm.
Person first argues that the district court abused its discretion by imposing an
unreasonably severe sentence. Having carefully reviewed the record, we find no abuse
of discretion. See United States v. Grimes,
54 F.3d 489, 492 (8th Cir. 1995) (standard

of Minnesota.
of review). The sentence imposed is well below the twenty-four-month maximum
authorized by 18 U.S.C. ยง 3583(e)(3), and is at the bottom of the eight-to-fourteen-
month range contained in the advisory policy statements regarding revocation of
supervised release found in Chapter 7 of the Guidelines Manual.
Person also argues that the district court failed to indicate that it had considered
the relevant factors in selecting the sentence, as required by section 3583(e). The court
is not required to make specific findings relating to each of the factors, however, see
United States v. Graves,
914 F.2d 159, 160 (8th Cir. 1990) (per curiam), nor is it
required to state on the record that it has considered the factors or explain its reasons
for the sentence imposed, see United States v. Caves,
73 F.3d 823, 825 (8th Cir. 1996)
(per curiam), and we are satisfied that the court adequately weighed the relevant
factors.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
