    UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. James Brian WRIGHT, Appellant.
    No. 01-3813.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted May 27, 2002.
    Decided June 7, 2002.
    Before McMILLIAN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

James Brian Wright, who originally pleaded guilty to impersonating a federal officer, appeals the sentence of 8 months imprisonment and 6 months supervised release imposed upon revocation of his original supervised release term. Mr. Wright’s original offense of conviction — carrying a maximum prison term of 3 years, see 18 U.S.C. § 912 — constituted a Class E felony, see 18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(5). Thus, we conclude that the 8-month prison sentence was proper. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (authorizing not more than 1 year imprisonment upon revocation of supervised release if offense that resulted in term of supervised release was other than Class A, B, C, or D felony). The 6-month supervised release sentence was unauthorized, however, to the extent that, when combined with the 8-month prison sentence, it exceeded 1 year. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(b)(3) (authorizing not more than 1 year supervised release for Class E felony), (h) (when supervised release is revoked and defendant is required to serve term of imprisonment that is less than maximum term of imprisonment authorized under subsection (e)(3), court may require that defendant be placed on term of supervised release after imprisonment, length of which shall not exceed term of supervised release authorized by statute for offense that resulted in original term of supervised release, less any term of imprisonment that was imposed upon revocation).

Accordingly, we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing with instructions for the district court to reduce the supervised release term to no more than 4 months, and we affirm in all other respects. See United States v. Guzman-Bruno, 27 F.3d 420, 423 (9th Cir.) (vacating sentence and remanding to district court for limited purpose of setting term of supervised release within statutorily permitted range, because term imposed exceeded statutorily authorized term and constituted plain error), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 975, 115 S.Ct. 451, 130 L.Ed.2d 360 (1994). We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
