Before LOKEN, MURPHY, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.
       James Fugate appeals the 20-month prison sentence that the district court1
imposed upon him after revoking the supervised release that he had been serving for
three offenses. For reversal, Fugate argues that the sentence is excessive.

      Upon careful review, see United States v. Tyson, 413 F.3d 824, 825 (8th Cir.
2005) (per curiam) (standard of review), we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion. The revocation sentence is within statutory limits, and at the
revocation hearing, the district court articulated multiple valid reasons for its
sentencing decision. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3); United States v. Mangum, 625 F.3d
466, 470 (8th Cir. 2010); United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 924 (8th Cir. 2006).

      Accordingly, we affirm. We also grant counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw.
We direct counsel to inform appellant about the procedures for filing a petition for
rehearing and for certiorari.
                        ______________________________

      The Honorable Greg Kays, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the
