PER CURIAM.

Maurice Malone appeals the sentence the district court imposed after revoking

his supervised release. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court

affirms.

The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for

1

the Northern District of Iowa.

Appellate Case: 16-1848 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/19/2016 Entry ID: 4460452 
The district court did not abuse its discretion. See United States v. Merrival,

521 F.3d 889, 890 (8th Cir. 2008) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence

isreviewed under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard). The within-Guidelinesrange sentence was not substantively unreasonable, and the court considered the 18

U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. See United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824 (8th Cir.

2009) (applying presumption of substantive reasonableness to revocation sentence

within Guidelines range); United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009)

(under substantive-reasonablenesstest, district court abusesits discretion if it failsto

consider relevant § 3553(a) factor, gives significant weight to improper or irrelevant

factor, or commits clear error of judgment in weighing factors). 

The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
