Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

        Marcus Wilkins pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of firearms and
ammunition, see 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), and was sentenced to 55 months imprisonment
(later amended to 43 months) and 3 years supervised release, see 18 U.S.C.
§§ 924(a)(2) (10-year maximum prison term), 3559(a)(3) (Class C felony), 3583(b)(2)
(3-year maximum supervised release term for Class C felony). The district court1
later revoked supervised release upon Wilkins’s admission of violations; and imposed
a new sentence of 6 months imprisonment and 2 years supervised release, with special

       The Honorable E. Richard Webber, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
conditions requiring the mental-health and drug-abuse treatment Wilkins requested.
Wilkins appeals this sentence.

      We note that both the prison term and the supervised release term were within
authorized limits, and that the district court considered appropriate factors in
imposing the revocation sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (requiring consideration
of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; authorizing up to 2 years imprisonment upon
revocation of supervised release where original offense was Class C felony),
§ 3583(h) (authorizing new period of supervised release not to exceed maximum term
of supervised release for original offense, less any prison time imposed upon
revocation of supervised release). We conclude that Wilkins’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.
