Before GRUENDER, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Tommie Lee Thompson appeals the sentence the district court1 imposed upon
him after it revoked his supervised release. Thompson’s counsel has moved for leave

      1
      The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa.
to withdraw and has filed a brief challenging the substantive reasonableness of
Thompson’s sentence.

      Upon careful review, we conclude that the sentence was not substantively
unreasonable. See United States v. Merrival, 
521 F.3d 889
, 890 (8th Cir. 2008)
(reviewing the substantive reasonableness of a post-revocation sentence under an
abuse-of-discretion standard); see also United States v. Petreikis, 
551 F.3d 822
, 824
(8th Cir. 2009) (applying a presumption of substantive reasonableness to a post-
revocation, within-Guidelines-range prison sentence). Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
                       ______________________________
