years of supervised release. His counsel moved to withdraw and filed a brief
challenging the substantive reasonableness of the amended revocation sentence.
After careful review of the record, we conclude the district court did not abuse
its discretion in imposing the amended revocation sentence. See United States v.
Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (reviewing substantive reasonableness
of revocation sentenced under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard). The record
reflects the district court considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; there is no
indication the district court overlooked a relevant factor, 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. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 922-24 (8th Cir.
2006); and the amended revocation sentence is within the statutory maximum, see 18
U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3), (h), (k).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
