PER CURIAM:
Appellant Scottie Brown appeals from his sentence imposed
after he admitted to violating several conditions of his supervised
release. The district court considered the availability of sub-
stance abuse treatment programs as an alternative to incarceration
and did not abuse its discretion in imposing a term of incarcera-
tion. See 18 U.S.C.A. § 3583(d) (West 1994 & Supp. 1999); U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 7B1.4, comment. (n.6). Likewise,
the court did not plainly err in sentencing Brown to twenty-one
months’ imprisonment. See 18 U.S.C.A. § 3583(e)(3); United States
v. Perkins, 108 F.3d 512, 516 (4th Cir. 1997); United States v.
Davis, 53 F.3d 638, 640-42 (4th Cir. 1995). We therefore affirm
Brown’s sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately set forth in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
