PER CURIAM:
David Arnette Sanders appeals from the district court’s
judgment of revocation of his supervised release. On appeal,
Sanders asserts the district court erred in concluding he violated
the terms of his supervised release by possessing marijuana.
This Court reviews a district court’s revocation of an
individual’s supervised release for abuse of discretion. United
States v. Copley, 978 F.2d 829, 831 (4th Cir. 1992). Sanders’ claim
is meritless. The Government’s evidence was sufficient to establish
Sanders violated the terms governing his supervised release.
United States v. Burgos, 94 F.3d 849, 873 (4th Cir. 1996).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment of
revocation of Sanders’ supervised release, and its consequent
imposition of a custodial 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
