PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Derek Caquelin appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release
and sentenced him to 6 months in prison. His counsel has moved to withdraw and has
filed a brief challenging the substantive reasonableness of the revocation 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, 915-17 (8th Cir. 2009). The revocation sentence is within the
Guidelines range and afforded a presumption of substantive reasonableness on
appeal. See United States v. Weems, 76 F.4th 1153, 1156 (8th Cir. 2023). 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, 923-24 (8th Cir. 2006).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm.
