PER CURIAM.

Marcus Wilkins pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of firearms and

ammunition, see 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), and was sentenced to 55 months imprisonment

(later amended to 43 months) and 3 years supervised release, see 18 U.S.C.

§§ 924(a)(2) (10-year maximum prison term), 3559(a)(3) (Class C felony), 3583(b)(2)

(3-year maximum supervised release term for Class C felony). The district court1

later revoked supervised release upon Wilkins’s admission of violations; and imposed

a new sentence of 6 months imprisonment and 2 years supervised release, with special

conditions requiring the mental-health and drug-abuse treatment Wilkins requested.

Wilkins appeals this sentence. 

We note that both the prison term and the supervised release term were within

authorized limits, and that the district court considered appropriate factors in

imposing the revocation sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (requiring consideration

of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; authorizing up to 2 years imprisonment upon

revocation of supervised release where original offense was Class C felony),

§ 3583(h) (authorizing new period of supervised release not to exceed maximum term

of supervised release for original offense, less any prison time imposed upon

revocation of supervised release). We conclude that Wilkins’s sentence is not

unreasonable. See United States v. Tyson, 413 F.3d 824, 825 (8th Cir. 2005) (per

curiam) (standard of review).

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