counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief arguing that the revocation
sentence is substantively unreasonable.
After careful review of the record, we conclude that Alvarez’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. Lozoya, 623 F.3d 624,
626 (8th Cir. 2010) (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 in
weighing the factors); United States v. Walker, 513 F.3d 891, 893 (8th Cir. 2008)
(stating that this court will not disturb a sentence imposed within the bounds of 18
U.S.C. § 3583(e) absent an abuse of discretion).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
