                                   ___________

Before WOLLMAN, MELLOY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.


        In this direct criminal appeal, Orlando Straw challenges the sentence the district
     1
court imposed after revoking his supervised release. In particular, he challenges (1)
the length of his prison term, and (2) a no-contact order imposed as a special condition
of his supervised release. Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did
not impose an unreasonable term of imprisonment. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3);
United States v. Thunder, 
553 F.3d 605
, 609 (8th Cir. 2009) (revocation sentence


         1
       The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Northern District of Iowa.
above Guidelines range was not substantively unreasonable where defendant
repeatedly violated supervised release); United States v. Tyson, 
413 F.3d 824
, 825
(8th Cir. 2005) (standard of review). We further conclude that the court did not abuse
its discretion in imposing the no-contact order. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(d)(1)-(3)
(factors for court to consider in ordering special condition of supervised release);
United States v. Simons, 
614 F.3d 475
, 478 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review).

      Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We also grant
counsel’s motion to withdraw.
