PER CURIAM.
Joey Loesel appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release and
sentenced him to 6 months in prison and 2 years of supervised release. His counsel
1The Honorable C.J. Williams, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the
Northern District of Iowa.

has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief challenging the imposition of
the additional term of supervised release.
After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in sentencing Loesel, as it properly considered the relevant 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; there was no indication that it overlooked a relevant factor,
or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors; and the
additional term of supervised release was below the statutory limit. See 21 U.S.C.
§ 841(b)(1)(A) (maximum supervised release term is life); 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); see also United
States v. White Face, 383 F.3d 733, 740 (8th Cir. 2004) (district court need not
mechanically list every § 3553(a) factor when sentencing defendant upon revocation;
all that is required is consideration of relevant matters and some reason for court’s
decision).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
