UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Danny R. BRADHAM, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 15-30531
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    March 2, 2016.
    John Scogin Odom, Jr., Esq., Jones, Odom & Politz, L.L.P., Shreveport, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellee,
    Danny R. Bradham, Plain Dealing, LA, pro se.
    Douglas Lee Harville, Harville Law Firm, L.L.C., Shreveport, LA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before KING, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Danny R. Bradham appeals from the revocation of the term of supervised release imposed pursuant to his prior conviction for theft of United States property. He argues only that the 12-month, within-guidelines revocation sentence imposed was substantively unreasonable in light of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) given that he-has been diagnosed as suffering from a substance-induced mood disorder, and his inearceration, which he asserts is financially costly to society, will only impede his mental progress and make it more likely that he will become homeless upon his release.

We review preserved challenges to revocation sentences under a plainly unreasonable standard, pursuant to which, when there is no procedural error, we “consider the substantive reasonableness of the sentence imposed under an abuse-of-discretion standard.” United States v. Miller, 634 F.3d 841, 843 (5th Cir.2011) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). We apply a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness to a within-guidelines revocation sentence. United States v. Lopez-Velasquez, 526 F.3d 804, 809 (5th Cir.2008) (per curiam).

Bradham’s mere disagreement with the district court’s weighing of the § 3553(a) factors is insufficient to overcome the presumption of reasonableness. See United States v. Alvarado, 691 F.3d 592, 597 (5th Cir.2012). He essentially asks this court to reweigh the § 3553(a) factors, which is not within the scope of this court’s review. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4,
