UNITED STATES of America Plaintiff-Appellee v. Blaine Stacy KILLS BACK Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-4352
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: July 27, 2017
    Filed: August 1, 2017
    Benjamin Patterson, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Rapid City, SD, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Blaine Stacy Kills Back, Pro Se
    Before GRUENDER, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Blaine Stacy Kills Back directly appeals the above-Guidelines-range sentence the district court imposed upon revoking his supervised release. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief arguing that the sentence is unreasonable.

After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Kills Back. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review); United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 922-24 (8th Cir. 2006) (revocation sentence may be unreasonable if district court fails to consider relevant § 3553(a) factor, gives significant weight to improper or irrelevant factor, or commits clear error of judgment). Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm the judgment. 
      
      . The Honorable Jeffrey L. Viken, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of South Dakota.
