affirms.

The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Northern District of Iowa.
The district court did not abuse its discretion. See United States v. Merrival,
521 F.3d 889, 890 (8th Cir. 2008) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence
is reviewed under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard). The within-Guidelines-
range sentence was not substantively unreasonable, and the court considered the 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. See United States v. Petreikis,
551 F.3d 822, 824 (8th Cir.
2009) (applying presumption of substantive reasonableness to revocation sentence
within Guidelines range); United States v. Miller,
557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009)
(under substantive-reasonableness test, district court abuses its discretion if it fails to
consider relevant § 3553(a) factor, gives significant weight to improper or irrelevant
factor, or commits clear error of judgment in weighing factors).
The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
