PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 16-1240 Page: 1 Date Filed: 06/29/2016 Entry ID: 4419431 
Melvin Blackmon directly appeals after the district court revoked his

1

supervised release, and sentenced him to 18 months in prison. For reversal, he argues

that the revocation sentence is substantively unreasonable.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not impose an

unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-17 (8th Cir.

2009); United States v. Merrival, 521 F.3d 889, 890-91 (8thCir. 2008). Accordingly,

we affirm the judgment of the district court. We also grant counsel’s motion to

withdraw.
