PER CURIAM.

After Kelly Moore pleaded guilty to several counterfeit-related offenses, in

violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 471 and 473, the district court1

 imposed concurrent

sentences of 41 months in prison and 2 years of supervised release. While Moore was

serving his supervised release, the government petitioned to revoke supervised release

based on an alleged violation of Moore’s release conditions. After a hearing at which

Moore admitted the conduct underlying the alleged violation, the court revoked

-2-

supervised release and sentenced Moore within the applicable advisory Guidelines

range to 12 months in prison. Moore appeals, arguing that the court’s sentence was

unreasonable. We affirm.

The revocation sentence was 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. at 258-62

(2005)). The sentence was within statutory limits, see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3), and the

court explicitly considered the circumstances of the violation, the need to correct

Moore’s behavior and punish his conduct, and the advisory Guidelines, see 18 U.S.C.

§ 3553(a)(1), (2)(A); Booker, 543 U.S. at 258-62 (sentencing courts must take

Guidelines into account along with other § 3553(a) factors).

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