PER CURIAM:

       Ivon Joshua Wright appeals the district court’s judgment revoking his supervised

release and imposing a 10-month sentence followed by an additional 9-month term of

supervised release.     Wright contends that this sentence is plainly procedurally

unreasonable. We affirm.

       “A district court has broad discretion when imposing a sentence upon revocation

of supervised release.” United States v. Webb, 738 F.3d 638, 640 (4th Cir. 2013). “We

will affirm a revocation sentence if it is within the statutory maximum and is not plainly

unreasonable.”    Id. (internal quotation marks omitted).     “In determining whether a

sentence is plainly unreasonable, we first decide whether the sentence is unreasonable . . .

follow[ing] generally the procedural and substantive considerations that we employ in

our review of original sentences.” United States v. Crudup, 461 F.3d 433, 438 (4th Cir.

2006). “A revocation sentence is procedurally reasonable if the district court adequately

explains the chosen sentence after considering the Sentencing Guidelines’ nonbinding

Chapter Seven policy statements and the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors.” United

States v. Slappy, 872 F.3d 202, 207 (4th Cir. 2017); see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (2012).

Only if a sentence is found procedurally or substantively unreasonable will we assess

whether it is plainly so. Slappy, 872 F.3d at 208.

       The district court revoked supervised release after Wright admitted to using heroin

and failing to satisfactorily participate in mental health treatment and submit urine

samples. At the revocation hearing, Wright presented as mitigating factors his physical

and mental health problems, posttraumatic stress disorder, and grief over the recent death

                                             2
of his daughter, and he asked the court to continue his supervision. The district court

specifically considered these arguments, along with the fact that Wright was employed at

the time of the hearing, but concluded that a 10-month sentence—at the top of Wright’s

advisory policy statement range—was the appropriate sentence.

       In imposing a 10-month sentence, the district court noted that it had previously

revoked Wright’s supervised release based on the same pattern of conduct and found that

the prior revocation sentence did not deter Wright’s continued heroin use. Although the

district court did not cite the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, the court provided a

sufficiently detailed explanation to show that it had considered those factors, as well as

the advisory policy statement range. We therefore conclude that Wright’s 10-month

sentence is procedurally reasonable, as is his additional 9-month term of supervised

release—particularly in light of Wright’s request for the court to allow him to stay on

supervised release in lieu of incarceration.

       Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s revocation judgment. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
