PER CURIAM.

Roger Collins appeals the sentence imposed by the district court1

 upon revoking

his supervised release, arguing that (1) the court erred in finding that he possessed

methamphetamine with intent to distribute, a Grade A violation of his supervised

release; and (2) the revocation sentence is unreasonable. Upon careful review, we

conclude that testimony presented at the revocation hearing supports the district

court’s finding that Collins intended to distribute the methamphetamine at issue, see

United States v. Ralph, 480 F.3d 888, 890 (8th Cir. 2007) (district court’s fact findings

The Honorable Nanette K. Laughrey, United States District Judge for the

Western District of Missouri.

as to whether violation occurred are reviewed for clear error); and as to the revocation

sentence, the district court considered proper sentencing factors and we conclude that

the revocation sentence is not unreasonable, see United States v. Tyson, 413 F.3d 824,

825 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (standard of review). 

Accordingly, we affirm.
