At a supervised-release revocation hearing, Charles Williams admitted to the

district court1

 that he had violated several of his release conditions while serving a

period of supervised release on a federal criminal sentence. The court revoked

supervised release and imposed a revocation sentence of 21 months in prison--the

bottom of the Chapter 7 revocation range--and 1 year of additional supervised release. 

On appeal, Williams contends that the sentence is substantively unreasonable because

it is greater than necessary to comply with the purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). After

careful review, we conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion. See United

States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). The

judgment is affirmed, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw.
