PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Jose Eduardo Victor appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised
release, and sentenced him to 18 months in prison and 3 years of supervised release.
His counsel has filed a brief challenging the substantive reasonableness of the
revocation sentence.
Upon careful review, we conclude that the sentence was not substantively
unreasonable. See United States v. Merrival, 521 F.3d 889, 890 (8th Cir. 2008)
(abuse-of-discretion review); see also United States v. Growden, 663 F.3d 982, 984
(8th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (district court acted well within its broad discretion in
imposing above-Guidelines revocation sentence where it considered appropriate 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, sufficiently explained reasoning for variance, and imposed
sentence within statutory limits).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment, and we grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw.
