    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:
    Freddie Lee Gill, Sr., appeals the district court’s order revoking his
    supervised release and sentencing him to twenty-four months impris-
    onment. Gill’s counsel has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
    California, 
    386 U.S. 738
     (1967), raising one issue but representing
    that, in his view, there are no meritorious issues for appeal. Gill has
    filed a pro se supplemental brief merely citing to 4th Cir. R. 36(c),*
    which we find meritless. Finding the issue raised by counsel is with-
    out merit and discerning no other error in the record below, we affirm.
    Generally, we review the district court’s decision to revoke super-
    vised release for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Copley, 
    978 F.2d 829
    , 831 (4th Cir. 1992). However, because Gill did not object
    to the sentence in the district court, we review for plain error, see
    United States v. Olano, 
    507 U.S. 725
    , 732-37 (1993) (finding relief
    available only if error is plain, affects substantial rights, and seriously
    affects the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceed-
    ings), and find none. See United States v. Davis, 
    53 F.3d 638
    , 642
    (4th Cir. 1995).
    In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the record for revers-
    ible error and found none. We therefore affirm the district court’s
    order revoking supervised release and imposing sentence. This court
    requires that counsel inform his client, in writing, of his right to peti-
    tion the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If the
    client requests that a petition be filed, then counsel may move this
    court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion
    must state that a copy thereof was served on the client. We dispense
    with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
    *Rule 36(c) states that unpublished opinions are not binding precedent
    in this circuit.
    UNITED STATES v. GILL                    3
    quately presented in the materials before the court and argument
    would not aid the decisional process.
    AFFIRMED
