supervised release. After careful review, this court affirms. See United States v.

Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009) (this court reviews revocation sentence

for abuse of discretion, first reviewing for significant procedural error, and then

considering substantive reasonableness). The district court identified the relevant

sentencing factors, explained its reasons for the sentence, and did not commit a clear

error of judgment. See id. at 917 (outlining substantive-reasonableness test); see also

United States v. Hum, 766 F.3d 925, 927-28 (8th Cir. 2014) (per curiam) (rejecting

argument that district court failed to adequately consider 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors,

as court properly considered defendant’s history and noncompliance on supervision,

and need to deter and maintain respect for court’s directives).

The judgment is affirmed. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
