period of supervised release on a federal criminal sentence. The court revoked
supervised release and imposed a revocation sentence of 21 months in prison--the
bottom of the Chapter 7 revocation range--and 1 year of additional supervised release.
On appeal, Williams contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable because
it is greater than necessary to comply with the purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). After
careful review, we conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion. See United
States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). The
judgment is affirmed, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw.
