PER CURIAM.
Rodney Hunt appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release and
sentenced him to 24 months in prison and 6 months of supervised release. On appeal,
Hunt argues that the district court relied on a mistake of fact in setting his sentence.
1The Honorable Leonard T. Strand, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Northern District of Iowa.

-- 1 of 2 --

Upon careful review, we conclude that--while the district court referred to the
3-year supervised release term Hunt was serving as a 5-year term--the record
indicates that the revocation sentence was based on the aggravating and mitigating
factors the court discussed in depth, rather than the length of Hunt’s prior term of
supervised release. See United States v. Moore, 565 F.3d 435, 437 (8th Cir. 2009)
(unobjected-to procedural sentencing error is reviewed under plain error standard);
United States v. Chauncey, 420 F.3d 864, 878 (8th Cir. 2005) (where the effect of the
error on the result in the district court is uncertain, indeterminate, or speculative, the
appellant has not met his burden of showing a reasonable probability that the result
would have been different but for the error).
Accordingly, we affirm.
