PER CURIAM.
Macy Patterson appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed following the
revocation of her supervised release. On appeal, she challenges the above Guidelines
range 18-month prison term as substantively unreasonable.
Upon careful review, we conclude that the sentence is not substantively
unreasonable, as the record reflects that the district court adequately considered the
relevant sentencing factors and did not give significant weight to an improper factor
or commit a clear error of judgment in weighing factors. See United States v.
Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923-24 (8th Cir. 2006). The district court did not abuse its
discretion in weighing some relevant factors more heavily than others, see United
States v. Maluoth, 121 F.4th 1158, 1165 (8th Cir. 2024); or act beyond its purview
in varying upward primarily due to Patterson’s poor performance on supervised
release, see United States v. Michels, 49 F.4th 1146, 1148-49 (8th Cir. 2022).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
