PER CURIAM.

Robert Bolden challenges the reasonableness of the sentence the district court1

imposed after revoking his supervised release. Upon careful review, we hold that the

district court did not clearly err in finding by a preponderance of the evidence that

Bolden had violated the conditions of his supervised release, see United States v.

Carothers, 337 F.3d 1017, 1019 (8th Cir. 2003) (government must prove by

-2-

preponderance of evidence that defendant violated supervised release condition;

district court’s finding that violation occurred is reviewed for clear error; district

court’s credibility determinations at supervised release revocation hearing are virtually

unreviewable on appeal), 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) (revocation sentences are reviewed for unreasonableness in accordance with

United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005)).

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We grant counsel’s

motion to withdraw, subject to counsel informing Bolden about procedures for

seeking rehearing or filing a petition for certiorari.
