Thomas M. DiBiagio, United States Attorney, Jamie M. Bennett, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). OPINION PER CURIAM: Allen Jett and Antoine DePaul Marshall filed a petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc from the decision of this Court on May 20, 2003, affirming the sentences imposed by the district court. See United States v. Jett, No. 02-4827(L) (4th Cir. May 20, 2003). In the petition for rehearing, Marshall asserts that we erred in applying a plain error standard of review to his claim that the district court erred by imposing a five-year term of supervised release when it resentenced him because no more than a three-year term was autho- rized under 18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(3). Upon a review of the record, we find that Marshall is correct as to his argument with respect to plain error, for he did raise this issue at resentencing and on appeal, and we should have applied a de novo standard of review. See United States v. Daughtrey, 874 F.2d 213, 218 (4th Cir. 1989). We therefore rehear the case and issue this opinion. Upon de novo review on rehearing, we nevertheless affirm the holding of the district court based on our holding in United States v. Pratt, 239 F.3d 640, 647 (4th Cir. 2001) (holding that the statutory cap in § 3583 "does not apply to statutes, such as § 841(b)(1)(C), whose own mandatory minimum periods of supervised release are the same as, or exceed, the maximum periods provided by § 3583"). Mar- shall suggests that we overrule Pratt; however, a panel of this court UNITED STATES v. JETT 3 cannot overrule a prior panel. Mentavlos v. Anderson, 249 F.3d 301, 312 n.4 (4th Cir. 2001). With respect to the other issues raised in the petition for rehearing, we are of opinion these claims are meritless. We therefore affirm the sentences imposed by the district court. We dispense with oral argu- ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid in the decisional process. There has been no request for a poll of the Court on the petition for rehearing en banc; therefore, the petition for rehearing en banc is denied. AFFIRMED
