                ____________
Before GRUENDER, MURPHY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

      In these consolidated appeals, Douglas Packett directly appeals the concurrent
within-Guidelines-range sentences the district court1 imposed upon revoking his
supervised release in the underlying cases. His counsel has moved for leave to
withdraw, and has filed a brief asserting that the sentences are substantively
unreasonable.

       Reviewing Packett’s revocation sentences for an abuse of discretion, see
United States v. Growden, 
663 F.3d 982
, 984 (8th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (standard
of review), we conclude that the sentences are not unreasonable, as both the prison
terms and the supervised-release term are within the statutory limits, and the prison
terms are within the applicable advisory Guidelines range, see United States v.
Petreikis, 
551 F.3d 822
, 824 (8th Cir. 2009) (applying presumption of substantive
reasonableness to revocation sentence within Guidelines range). We affirm the
judgments, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw.
                      ______________________________
