PER CURIAM:

          Daryl W. Smith appeals the district court’s order revoking his supervised release

and sentencing him to 12 months of imprisonment, followed by 5 years of supervised

release. On appeal, counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967), questioning whether the sentence is plainly unreasonable. Smith was advised

of his right to file a pro se supplemental brief, but has not done so. Finding no error, we

affirm.

          We review a sentence imposed as a result of a supervised release violation to

determine whether the sentence is plainly unreasonable. United States v. Padgett, 788

F.3d 370, 373 (4th Cir. 2015). The first step in this analysis is a determination of whether

the sentence is unreasonable; in making this determination, we follow the procedural and

substantive considerations employed in reviewing original sentences. United States v.

Crudup, 461 F.3d 433, 438 (4th Cir. 2006). Although a district court must consider the

policy statements in Chapter Seven of the Sentencing Guidelines along with the statutory

factors, “the court ultimately has broad discretion to revoke its previous sentence and

impose a term of imprisonment up to the statutory maximum.” Id. at 439 (internal

quotation marks omitted). If a sentence imposed after a revocation is not unreasonable,

we will not proceed to the second prong of the analysis—whether the sentence is plainly

unreasonable. Id. at 438-39.

          Moreover, a district court must adequately explain a revocation sentence, “whether

the [] court imposes an above, below, or within-Guidelines sentence.” United States v.

Thompson, 595 F.3d 544, 547 (4th Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks omitted). “A

                                              2
court need not be as detailed or specific when imposing a revocation sentence as it must

be when imposing a post-conviction sentence, but it still must provide a statement of

reasons for the sentence imposed.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). In conducting

the individualized assessment, the court must consider the defendant’s nonfrivolous

arguments for a sentence outside of the Guidelines range. United States v. Slappy, 872

F.3d 202, 207 (4th Cir. 2017). We have thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude

that the district court properly calculated and considered the advisory Guidelines range

and the statutory sentencing factors, and sufficiently explained the chosen sentence,

rejecting Smith’s arguments for a sentence of time served. We further conclude that the

sentence is not substantively unreasonable. It follows, therefore, that the sentence is not

plainly unreasonable.

       We have examined the entire record in accordance with the requirements of

Anders and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the

judgment of the district court. This court requires that counsel inform Smith, in writing,

of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If

Smith requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be

frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw from representation.

Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Smith. 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 in the decisional process.

                                                                              AFFIRMED
