Per Curiam. Upon careful consideration of the briefs and
record presented for this appeal, we conclude that the sentence
imposed upon revocation of supervised release was within the
district court's authority under 18 U.S.C. 3583(e)(3) and was not
inconsistent with U.S.S.G. 7B1.4. See United States v. O'Neil,
11 F.3d 292, 301 n.11 (1st Cir. 1993). In our view, the district
court's stated reasons for the 18-month prison term were entirely
conventional, aimed at protecting society from a defendant in need
of substance abuse treatment, and raised no issue within the plain
thrust of 28 U.S.C. 944(k).
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
