PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

DeMarcus Chappel appeals the above-Guidelines sentence the district court1
imposed upon revoking his supervised release. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291, this court affirms.
Chappel’s counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief under
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence is substantively
unreasonable. This court concludes that the district court did not impose a
substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910,
915-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence is
reviewed under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard). The record reflects that the
district court adequately considered the relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. See 18
U.S.C. § 3583(e); United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923 (8th Cir. 2006)
(revocation sentence may be unreasonable if court fails to consider relevant factor,
gives significant weight to improper or irrelevant factor, or commits clear error of
judgment). Additionally, the revocation sentence did not exceed the statutory
maximum. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3583(e)(3) (maximum revocation prison term is 2 years
if underlying offense is Class C felony), (b)(2) (statutory maximum supervised release
term for Class C offense of conviction is 3 years), (h) (length of new
supervised-release term shall not exceed term authorized by statute for offense of
conviction, less revocation prison terms).
The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
