PER CURIAM.

Dameon Dariyus Harris appeals the above-Guidelines sentence the district

court1

 imposed upon revoking his supervised release. Having jurisdiction under 28

U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

1The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United States District Judge for the Northern

District of Iowa.

Appellate Case: 19-3452 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/04/2020 Entry ID: 4909143
Harris’s counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief under

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the sentence is substantively

unreasonable. This court concludes that the district court did not impose a

substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910,

915-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence is

reviewed under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard); United States v. Feemster,

572 F.3d 455, 464 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (“it will be the unusual case when we

reverse a district court sentence – whether within, above, or below the applicable

Guidelines range – as substantively unreasonable”). The record reflects that the

revocation sentence was within the statutory maximum. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3)

(maximum revocation prison term is 2 years if underlying offense is Class C felony),

(b)(2) (statutory maximum supervised release term for Class C offense of conviction

is 3 years), (h) (length of new supervised-release term shall not exceed term

authorized by statute for offense of conviction, less revocation prison terms). The

court stated it had considered the relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. See United

States v. White Face, 383 F.3d 733, 740 (8th Cir. 2004) (district court need not

mechanically list every § 3553(a) factor when sentencing defendant upon revocation;

all that is required is consideration of relevant matters and some reason for court’s

decision). 

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