PER CURIAM.
Najee Boston appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release
and sentenced him to 60 months in prison. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291, this court affirms.
1 The Honorable Stephen R. Bough, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.

Boston’s counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief
challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. Upon careful review,
this court concludes that the district court did not abuse its discretion, as there is no
indication that it failed to consider a relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3353(a) factor, gave
significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of
judgment in weighing relevant factors. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910,
916 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review); United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921,
923 (8th Cir. 2006) (reciting factors to discern whether revocation sentence is
unreasonable). Further, the revocation sentence is within the statutory maximum.
See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (maximum revocation prison term is 5 years if
underlying offense is Class A felony).
The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
