counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief arguing that the revocation
sentence is substantively unreasonable.
Upon careful review, we conclude that Carter’s sentence was not unreasonable,
as there is no indication that the district court overlooked a relevant factor, gave
significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of
judgment in weighing the relevant factors. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910,
914 (8th Cir. 2009) (reviewing the district court’s decision to revoke supervised
release for abuse of discretion); United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923 (8th Cir.
2006) (explaining that a revocation sentence may be unreasonable if the district court
fails to consider a relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3353(a) factor, gives significant weight to an
improper or irrelevant factor, or commits a clear error of judgment); United States v.
White Face, 383 F.3d 733, 740 (8th Cir. 2004) (stating that a district court need not
mechanically list every § 3553(a) factor when sentencing a defendant upon
revocation; all that is required is consideration of relevant matters and some reason
for the court’s decision).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
