counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief challenging the
sentence.
After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in sentencing Chambers, as it properly considered the 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, 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); 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); and the sentence was within the advisory Guidelines range, and
below the statutory limit, see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (maximum revocation prison
term is 5 years for Class A felony); 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(B) (maximum supervised
release term is life).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
