PER CURIAM.

Christopher Mosley pleaded guilty in June 1992 to possession with intent to

distribute 5 or more grams of a mixture containing cocaine base, in violation of 21

U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B) (a Class B felony), and to being a felon in possession

of ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He was sentenced to 160

months imprisonment and 5 years supervised release. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1),

(b)(1)(B); 18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(2) (offense classification). The district court1

 later

revoked supervised release–upon Mosley’s admissions that he had violated certain

release conditions–and imposed a new sentence of 36 months imprisonment. Mosley

appeals this sentence arguing that the sentence is excessive and that the district court

failed to consider appropriate factors.

These arguments fail. The new prison term was within authorized limits, and

the hearing transcript shows that the district court considered appropriate factors in

imposing this revocation sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (requiring

consideration of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; authorizing up to 3 years imprisonment

upon revocation of supervised release where original offense is Class B felony). We

conclude that Mosley’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.
