PER CURIAM.

After Vernon Boney violat ed the terms of his supervised release, the district

court 1 imposed a n above

- Guidelines sentence of 12 month s’ imprisonment to be

1 The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.-2- followed by five years of supervised release. On appeal, Boney con tends his sentence is substantively unreasonable. We affirm.

In 2015, Boney was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor and sentenced to a
41

- month imprisonment term to be followed by 20 years of supervised release. A fter Boney’s release from custody, he violated his release terms. He was twice placed in

a residential reentry center. After additional violations, Boney’s release was revoked and the court sentenced him to serve six months in custody followed by 10 years of supervised release.

Boney continued to have difficulties with supervision following hi s release from custody. Throughout 2022

, he had a number of violations

, including continued
meth amp h etamine use, failure to participate in substance abuse testing, fail ure to
attend an in

- home meeting with his probation officer, and termination from a sex offender treatment program for failure to participate

. On August 11, 2022, the supervising probation officer sought revocation of Boney’s supervised release.

At the revocation hearing giving rise to this appeal , Boney admitted the violations, and the co urt found an applicable revocation G uidelines range of three to nine months. Defense counsel requested that Boney be placed at a residential reentry center or alternatively receive a term of imprisonment with no supervis ion to follow. The government soug ht an upward variance, seeking a 16

- month sentence, arguing
that Boney posed a risk to the public and deterrence was necessary to encourage Boney to comply with his supervised release conditions. After considering Boney’s addiction problems, his need for sex offender treatment, his failure to meet requirements while on supervised release, the seriousness of the original offense

, and the risk that Boney posed to the public, the district court imposed a 12

- month
sentence fol lowed by five years of supervised release.-3- We review Boney’s substantive reasonableness challenge to his revocation

sentence for an abuse of discretion. 2 See United States v. Cain, 976 F.3d 778, 779

- 80 (8th Cir. 2020) (per curiam) (citations omitted)

. An abuse of discretion occurs
“if the district court fails to consider a relevant factor that should have received significant weight, gives significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or considers only the appropriate factors but commits a cle ar error of judgment in weighing those factors.” United States v. Staten, 990 F.3d 631, 636 (8th Cir. 2021) (per curiam) (citation omitted).

Here, the district court considered the seriousness of Boney’s offense, his history of failing to comply with sup ervision conditions, the risk he pose d to the public, his need for substance abuse and sex offender treatment, and the advisory
G uidelines range. While Boney claims the district court inadequately analyzed the sentencing factors, a district court is not r equired to exhaustively address each issue raised. This is especially true when, as here, the court gave a detailed and reasoned
basis for its sentence. See United States v. Bridges, 569 F.3d 374, 379 (8th Cir. 2009) (citation omitted). The record does not support Boney ’s contention that the
district court failed to adequately consider a further halfway house placement . T he
district court could reasonably find that a period of incarceration was more appropriate given Boney’s lack of success on supervision

. See United States v.
Anderson , 618 F.3d 873, 883 (8th Cir. 2010) (citation omitted) (“The district court may give some factors less weight than a defendant prefers or more to other factors but that alone does not justify reversal .”)

.

We affirm the judgment of the district court.

2 Boney has submitted for filing a pro se supplemental brief. Typically, the Court does not address arguments in pro se filings when the defendant is represented by counsel. United States v. Gonzalez, 781 F.3d 422, 433 n.3 (8th Cir. 2015). Because Boney is represen ted by counsel, w e deny his request to file a supplemental brief.
