to withdraw and has filed a brief challenging the substantive reasonableness of
Thompson’s 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)
(reviewing the substantive reasonableness of a post-revocation sentence under an
abuse-of-discretion standard); see also United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824
(8th Cir. 2009) (applying a presumption of substantive reasonableness to a post-
revocation, within-Guidelines-range prison sentence). Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
