Opinion

OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Miron H. Cameron appeals the thirty-month custodial sentence the district court imposed after revoking his supervised release. Cameron contends his sentence is unreasonable as it exceeded the eight-to-fourteen month sentence suggested under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 7B1.4, p.s. (2000). We affirm.

Our review of the record reveals no abuse of discretion by the district court in imposing Cameron’s sentence. See United States v. Davis, 53 F.3d 638, 642 (4th Cir.1995) (providing standard of review). The district court was presented with the nature and extent of Cameron’s violations, the worksheet providing the recommended sentencing range of § 7B1.4(a), and the three-year maximum sentence. In light of the fact that the district court was perfectly within its province to depart from that recommended range in light of its prior decision to depart downward based on Cameron’s prior substantial assistance, see § 7B1.4, comment, (n.4), we reject Cameron’s argument.

Accordingly, we affirm Cameron’s sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
