release. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief
challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.
We conclude that the sentence was not an abuse of discretion. See United
States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). There is no
indication that the district court failed to consider 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, 923 (8th
Cir. 2006) (considerations for reasonableness of sentence). Further, the revocation
sentence is within the Guidelines range and afforded a presumption of reasonableness
on appeal. See United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008)
(sentence within the Guidelines range is accorded a presumption of substantive
reasonableness on appeal).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
