release. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief
challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.
After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in imposing the revocation sentence. See United States v. Miller,
557 F.3d 910, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009). The revocation sentence is within the
Guidelines range and accorded a presumption of substantive reasonableness on
appeal. See United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008).
Moreover, 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. Larison, 432 F.3d
921, 923 (8th Cir. 2006).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment.
