UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
SANDRA SUE SMITH,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
No. 4:98-CR-197-1
--------------------
Before SMITH, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Sandra Smith was convicted, pursuant to a guilty plea, of two
counts of using unauthorized access cards and was sentenced to
concurrent 27-month terms in prison followed by concurrent three-
year terms of supervised release. She appeals the imposition of
two consecutive nine-month prison terms following the revocation of

supervised release. She argues that the district court erroneously
believed that the policy statements of the Sentencing Guidelines
required or encouraged the court to impose consecutive sentences
and that the court reversibly erred in imposing her revocation
sentence because the circumstances do not warrant consecutive
sentences.
Smith has not established that her sentence was imposed in vi-
olation of law. The total 18-month term of imprisonment imposed on
revocation of supervised release did not exceed the statutory maxi-
mum. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3). Accordingly, the revocation sen-
tence 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).
AFFIRMED.
