PER CURIAM.

Gail Burshiem (Burshiem) pled guilty to obtaining controlled substances by

fraud, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 843(a)(3) and 846, and was sentenced to four

years’ probation. Finding Burshiem violated the conditions of her probation, the

district court1

 later revoked Burshiem’s probation and sentenced her to 9 months’

imprisonment and 12 months’ supervised release. On appeal, Burshiem’s counsel

moved to withdraw and filed a brief arguing the sentence imposed is unreasonable.

After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we conclude the court considered

relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and did not impose an unreasonable sentence.

See United States v. Tyson, 413 F.3d 824, 825 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (standard

of review). We therefore affirm, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
