PER CURIAM:

       Matthew   John   Wiggins    appeals   the   district   court’s   order

revoking his term of supervised release and sentencing him to

twelve months imprisonment, followed by twenty-four months of

supervised release, to include home detention.             Wiggins contends

that his sentence exceeds the statutory maximum provided by 18

U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (2000).           We find that the district court

properly sentenced Wiggins within the statutory maximum. See United

States v. Hager, 288 F.3d 136 (4th Cir.) (holding that a defendant

does not receive credit against the maximum revocation prison term

for time previously spent on home detention), cert. denied, 71

U.S.L.W. 3265 (U.S. Oct. 15, 2002) (No. 02-6167).

       Accordingly, we affirm Wiggins’ 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.
