PER CURIAM.
Roger Lee Willis appeals the district court’s order revoking his supervised1
release and imposing a 24-month sentence. His counsel has moved for leave to
The Honorable P.K. Holmes, III, Chief Judge, United States District Court for1
the Western District of Arkansas.

withdraw, and has submitted a brief raising issues as to whether the evidence was
insufficient to support a finding that he possessed methamphetamine, and that the
sentence is substantively unreasonable.
After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not
clearly err in finding that Willis had constructive possession of methamphetamine
based on the evidence presented. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3); United States v. Miller,
557 F.3d 910, 914 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). We also conclude that the
district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Willis, as it properly
considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; there was no indication that it overlooked
a relevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors,
see United States v. Johnson, 827 F.3d 740, 744 (8th Cir. 2016) (standard of review);
United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1077 (8th Cir. 2012); and the sentence was
within the Guidelines range, see United States v. Callaway, 762 F.3d 754, 760 (8th
Cir. 2014).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
