PER CURIAM.
Brandon Jones appeals the sentence the district court imposed after he pled
guilty to drug offenses. He challenges a condition of supervised release related to sex
offender registration, arguing that he has never been convicted of a sex offense. He
also argues his sentence is substantively unreasonable.

-- 1 of 2 --

The government concedes that imposition of the condition of supervised
release was erroneous. In light of that concession, we vacate the challenged
condition. As to Jones’s challenge to the length of his sentence, we conclude the
district court did not impose a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States
v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (abuse of discretion review).
We vacate imposition of the challenged condition and remand with directions
that the judgment be amended to remove the condition. We affirm the sentence in all
other respects.
