Jeffrey Holt appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed after revoking his supervised release, arguing that his sentence is unreasonable. We affirm. Specifically, we hold that Holt's 24-month prison sentence is reasonable, as it is below the statutory maximum, and it resulted from the district court's consideration of appropriate factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (upon revoking supervised release, court may require defendant to serve in prison all or part The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for Northern District of Iowa.

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. ______________________________
