violated his release conditions in both cases. The court revoked both supervised

release terms, and imposed concurrent revocation sentences of 24 months in prison

and 12 months of supervised release. On appeal, Christensen contends that the

revocation sentences are substantively unreasonable. Upon careful review of the

record, including the court’s weighing ofrelevant sentencing factors at the revocation

hearing, we find no basis to conclude that the court abused 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.
