release. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief challenging the
prison sentence as substantively unreasonable.
After reviewing the record under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard, we
conclude the district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See
United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). The
district court sufficiently considered the relevant statutory sentencing factors and did
not overlook a relevant factor, give significant weight to an improper or irrelevant
factor, or commit a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors. See 18
U.S.C. § 3583(e); Miller, 557 F.3d at 917. The sentence is below the statutory limits,
see § 3583(e)(3), and is presumptively reasonable because it is within the applicable
policy statement range in the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual, see
U.S.S.G. § 7B1.4(a); United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824-25 (8th Cir. 2009).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment, and we grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw.
