PER CURIAM.
Charles Allen appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release
and sentenced him to 21 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release.
1The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Southern District of Iowa.

His counsel has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief challenging the substantive
reasonableness of the revocation sentence.
After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in imposing the revocation sentence, as there is no indication that
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. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009). Moreover,
the revocation sentence is within the Guidelines range and is therefore afforded a
presumption of substantive reasonableness on appeal. See United States v. Wilkins,
909 F.3d 915, 917-18 (8th Cir. 2018).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
