   Before FLAUM, HAMILTON, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.
    BARRETT, Circuit Judge. The district court revoked Michael
Allgire’s supervised release after Allgire skipped out one
month into his six-month term at a halfway house. The district
court sentenced him to reimprisonment—24 months on one
count of his original conviction and 17 months on another
count, set to run concurrently. He now argues both that his
total 24-month sentence was unreasonable and that the
2                                                    No. 19-2348

district court committed reversible error by imposing two
concurrent sentences. We disagree with both contentions.
                                I.
    In 2006, Michael Allgire was charged with a number of
drug-related offenses. He pleaded guilty to two of the
charges: Count 1 and Count 10 of the indictment. He was sen-
tenced to 233 months’ imprisonment on Count 1 and to 120
months’ imprisonment on Count 10. He served both sen-
tences concurrently. After Allgire completed his prison term,
he began serving concurrent terms of supervised release, one
on each count of conviction. But he violated the conditions of
that supervised release and, after a revocation hearing, was
sentenced to 7 months’ reimprisonment or, alternatively, up
to 6 months in a halfway house, along with another 24
months’ supervised release. The government found space for
Allgire in a halfway house but a month into his time there he
absconded and spent the next 7 months on the lam. When he
was eventually found, he was brought up for a second revo-
cation hearing.
    At the second revocation hearing, Allgire admitted that he
violated the terms of his supervised release. The guidelines
range for his violation was 5 to 11 months. The government
sought a 9-month sentence while Allgire asked for 8. The dis-
trict court, though, felt that Allgire had taken advantage of the
court’s previous leniency. Allgire had been given a 53-month
reduction for cooperating with the government in his initial
sentence for his crime of conviction, and then after the first
revocation he had been offered 6 months in a halfway house
rather than 7 months in prison. But in return, the district court
noted, Allgire had “disregard[ed]” the law and displayed
“lack of respect for” it. Thus, the district court decided to vary
No. 19-2348                                                   3

upward from the guidelines to account for what had proved
to be regrettable leniency. The district court sentenced Allgire
to two terms of reimprisonment: 24 months’ imprisonment
for violating the terms of supervised release on Count 1 of his
conviction and 17 months’ imprisonment on Count 10 of his
conviction. It set both sentences to run concurrently. Both par-
ties agreed that any additional term of supervised release
would be futile given Allgire’s past conduct, so the district
court did not impose any supervised release to follow the 24-
month sentence.
                              II.
   On appeal, Allgire raises two challenges. First, he argues
that his total sentence of 24 months is unreasonable. Second,
he contends that the district court lacked the authority to im-
pose a concurrent 17-month sentence.
    We readily uphold the 24-month sentence, notwithstand-
ing the fact it was 13 months higher than the guidelines range.
That’s because we only reverse a sentence of reimprisonment
after the revocation of supervised release if the sentence was
“plainly unreasonable.” United States v. Boultinghouse, 784
F.3d 1163, 1177 (7th Cir. 2015). And here, the district court
ably explained its decision to vary upward from the guide-
lines range.
    A district court must fashion a term of reimprisonment
upon revocation of supervised release according to the factors
outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), as they apply to revocations,
along with any relevant policy statements in the Sentencing
Guidelines. See United States v. Hollins, 847 F.3d 535, 539 (7th
Cir. 2017); see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (incorporating a subset of
§ 3553(a) factors into the revocation analysis). Here, the
4                                                   No. 19-2348

district court justiﬁed its decision based on Allgire’s extensive
criminal history, § 3553(a)(1); repeated violations of super-
vised release, see § 3553(a)(2)(B); and likelihood of recidivism
given his criminal history and previous disregard for super-
vised release terms, § 3553(a)(2)(C). Weighing those factors,
the district court determined that even an 11-month sentence
would be insuﬃcient to accomplish the goals of sentencing,
let alone an 8- or 9-month sentence as proposed by the parties.
Instead, the district court determined that a total of 24
months’ imprisonment was necessary. It clearly explained the
variance decision with reference to the applicable sentencing
factors, which were reasonably applied to Allgire’s circum-
stances. And 24 months was below the statutory maximum
that the district court was authorized to impose. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 3583(b)(2) & (h). We will not second-guess the district
court’s assessment on appeal. See United States v. Robertson,
648 F.3d 858, 859 (7th Cir. 2011) (referring to appellate review
of revocation of supervised release as “comparable to ‘the
narrowest judicial review of judgments we know’” (citation
omitted)).
    Even if the total sentence is reasonable, Allgire argues, we
must still vacate his sentence because the district court lacked
the authority to impose two concurrent sentences. He did not
raise this objection in the district court, so we review it here
for plain error. United States v. Pierson, 925 F.3d 913, 919 (7th
Cir. 2019). To prevail, Allgire must show that (1) the district
court made an error, (2) the error was clear or obvious, (3) the
error aﬀected his substantial rights, and (4) the error “seri-
ously aﬀects the fairness, integrity or public reputation of ju-
dicial proceedings.” Molina-Martinez v. United States, 136 S. Ct.
1338, 1343 (2016) (citation omitted).
No. 19-2348                                                   5

    Allgire argues that the district court made a clear or obvi-
ous error when it sentenced him to two terms of reimprison-
ment. The basic outline of his argument is this: When he ﬁrst
began his supervised release there were two concurrent
terms, one for Count 1 and one for Count 10. That supervised
release was revoked, but the district court only sentenced him
to a single term of reimprisonment and supervised release, not
two concurrent terms as before. So, when the district court
sentenced him for violating the latter term of supervised re-
lease, Allgire had only committed one violation of supervised
release and there was only one term of supervised release to
revoke. Thus, the district court could only have sentenced him
to one term of reimprisonment, not two. See United States v.
Eskridge, 445 F.3d 930, 934 (7th Cir. 2006) (explaining that, on
revocation, “impos[ing] concurrent terms of supervised re-
lease … was proper only if [the district court] was revoking
two terms [of supervised release] rather than one”).
    Allgire’s argument stumbles, however, on plain error’s
third prong. Even if imposing the concurrent sentence was a
plain error, Allgire needs to show that it aﬀected his substan-
tial rights—“which in the ordinary case means it aﬀected the
outcome of the district court proceedings.” United States v.
Marcus, 560 U.S. 258, 262 (2010) (citation and internal quota-
tion marks omitted). Allgire certainly cannot show that the er-
ror aﬀected the length of his imprisonment: the 24-month sen-
tence was reasonable, so he cannot show that he was preju-
diced by the inclusion of a shorter concurrent sentence. He
will serve 24 months regardless. For Allgire’s challenge to suc-
ceed, he must be able to point us toward some other substan-
tial right that was impinged. His only nominee is the addi-
tional stigma that he feels from being sentenced to two terms
of reimprisonment rather than one. That is not enough to
6                                                 No. 19-2348

satisfy plain error’s substantial-rights prong. Allgire’s sen-
tence is AFFIRMED.
