Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Kamaury Watson violated the conditions of supervised release by failing to
report to a halfway house. He argues that the sentence he received—8 months of
prison time followed by 18 months of supervised release—is too long.
       We conclude that the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States
v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (reviewing the reasonableness of a
revocation sentence for an abuse of discretion); United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d
1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008) (stating that a within-Guidelines-range sentence is
presumptively reasonable). The record establishes that the district court 1 sufficiently
considered the statutory sentencing factors, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a), 3583(e)(3), and
did not rely on an improper factor or commit a clear error of judgment. See United
States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923–24 (8th Cir. 2006). We accordingly affirm the
judgment and grant counsel permission to withdraw.
                        ______________________________
