PER CURIAM:

               Douglas E. Mills appeals the twelve-month plus one day

prison term imposed upon revocation of his supervised release.                   He

argues that his prison sentence is unreasonable because it does not

further the goals of supervised release, and that drug treatment

serves the purpose of transitioning Mills into the community under

18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (2000).            Finding no error, we affirm.

               In imposing sentence, the court considered the statutory

maximum, the advisory guideline range, and Mills’ history of

violations, and imposed a sentence at the bottom of the advisory

range.    The court properly considered the number and nature of

Mills’ supervised release violations in determining this sentence,

in   accordance      with     18   U.S.C.A.     §§   3553    (a)(1),   (a)(2)(B),

(a)(2)(C), 3583(a) (West 2000 & Supp. 2005).                   We conclude that

Mills’ sentence was not unreasonable. See United States v. Crudup,

___ F.3d ___, 2006 WL 2243586 (4th Cir. Aug. 7, 2006) (No. 05-

4048).    Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.

               We deny as moot Mills’ motion to expedite his appeal. We

grant Mills’ motion to 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
