Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.

      William Worrels appeals from the sentence the District Court1 imposed after
revoking his supervised release. The court sentenced him to ten months in prison and

fifty-five months of supervised release. On appeal, Worrels’s counsel argues that the
revocation sentence is unreasonable and has moved for leave to withdraw.

       We conclude that the District Court did not abuse its discretion and that the
sentence is not substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Growden, 663 F.3d
982, 984 (8th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (standard of review). Both the prison term and
the supervised-release term are within the statutory limits, and the prison term is
within the applicable advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines range. See United States
v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824 (8th Cir. 2009) (applying a presumption of substantive
reasonableness to a revocation sentence within the Guidelines range). We affirm the
judgment, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
