release. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief

challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

We conclude that the sentence was not an abuse of discretion. See United

States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). There is no

indication that the district court failed to consider a relevant factor, gave significant

weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in

weighing the relevant factors. See United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923 (8th

Cir. 2006) (considerations for reasonableness of sentence). Further, the revocation

sentence is within the Guidelines range and afforded a presumption of reasonableness

on appeal. See United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008)

(sentence within the Guidelines range is accorded a presumption of substantive

reasonableness on appeal).

Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
