PER CURIAM.

      Robert L. O’Rourke directly appeals after the district court1 revoked his
supervised release and sentenced him to 6 months in prison and 30 months of

        The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
supervised release. After careful review, this court affirms. See United States v.
Miller, 
557 F.3d 910
, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009) (this court reviews revocation sentence
for abuse of discretion, first reviewing for significant procedural error, and then
considering substantive reasonableness). The district court identified the relevant
sentencing factors, explained its reasons for the sentence, and did not commit a clear
error of judgment. See 
id. at 917
(outlining substantive-reasonableness test); see also
United States v. Hum, 
766 F.3d 925
, 927-28 (8th Cir. 2014) (per curiam) (rejecting
argument that district court failed to adequately consider 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors,
as court properly considered defendant’s history and noncompliance on supervision,
and need to deter and maintain respect for court’s directives).

      The judgment is affirmed. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
