counsel has moved to withdraw and filed a brief challenging the revocation sentence
as substantively unreasonable. Rollins filed a supplemental pro se brief arguing the
sentence violates his First and Eighth Amendment rights.
After reviewing the record, we conclude the district court did not abuse its
discretion in imposing the sentence. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-
17 (8th Cir. 2009) (reviewing the substantive reasonableness of a revocation sentence
under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard). We also reject Rollins’s challenges
to the constitutionality of his sentence. See United States v. Contreras, 816 F.3d 502,
514 (8th Cir. 2016); United States v. Israel, 317 F.3d 768, 770 (7th Cir. 2003).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm.
