Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Floyd Ezell directly appeals the sentence that the district court1 imposed on him
after revoking his supervised release. For reversal, Ezell argues that the court abused

      1
       The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
its discretion in failing to credit against his 4-month revocation sentence the time that he
spent in state custody on a drug charge. This challenge is without merit. See United
States v. Wilson, 
503 U.S. 329
, 333-35 (1992) (18 U.S.C. § 3585(b) does not
authorize district court, at sentencing, to compute credit for time served). To the
extent Ezell’s argument encompasses a claim that the revocation sentence imposed
is unreasonable, we conclude after careful review that the below-Guidelines-range
sentence is not unreasonable. See United States v. Miller, 
557 F.3d 910
, 915-16 (8th
Cir. 2009) (appellate review of revocation sentence). Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment of the district court. We also grant counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw.
