Before KELLY, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Angel Contreras-Delgado appeals a 9-month sentence he received for
violating the conditions of supervised release. He challenges the substantive
reasonableness of the sentence, and his attorney seeks permission to withdraw.
       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). Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment and grant counsel permission to withdraw.
                        ______________________________

       The Honorable Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger, United States District Judge for
