PER CURIAM.
Peter Blaha appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release. His
counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief challenging the
sentence as substantively unreasonable.
Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that Blaha’s sentence was
not unreasonable, as there is no indication that the district court failed to consider the
relevant factors, 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, 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (revocation sentence may be
unreasonable if district court fails to consider relevant factor, gives significant weight
to improper factor, or commits clear error of judgment).
Accordingly, we affirm, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw.
