No. 05-20480 -2circumstances of his case do not warrant the statutory maximum two-year term of imprisonment imposed in his case. Although the two-year term of imprisonment imposed upon revocation of Savala's supervised release exceeded the sentencing range indicated by the policy statements in Chapter Seven of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, it did not exceed the statutory maximum term of imprisonment that the district court could have imposed. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3). Accordingly,
Savala's revocation sentence was neither "unreasonable" nor "plainly unreasonable." See United States v. Hinson, 429 F.3d
114, 120 (5th Cir. 2005), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 1804 (2006). Savala has not shown error. AFFIRMED.
