PER CURIAM.
      Dennis L. Jenne appeals the within-Guidelines sentence the district court 1
imposed upon revoking his supervised release. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291, this court affirms.

       Counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief under Anders
v. California, 
386 U.S. 738
(1967), arguing that the sentence is substantively
unreasonable because the district court considered unproven allegations relating to
an ongoing investigation. This court concludes that the district court did not impose
a substantively unreasonable sentence. See United States v. Miller, 
557 F.3d 910
,
915-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence is
reviewed under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard); cf. United States v.
Perkins, 
526 F.3d 1107
, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008) (revocation sentence within Guidelines
range is accorded a presumption of substantive reasonableness on appeal). The
record reflects that the court considered relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and
did not give significant weight to an improper factor. See 
Miller, 557 F.3d at 917
(district court abuses its discretion in imposing revocation sentence if it fails to
consider relevant § 3553(a) factor, gives significant weight to improper or irrelevant
factor, or commits clear error of judgment). The revocation sentence was within the
statutory maximum. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (maximum revocation prison term
is 2 years if underlying offense is Class C felony), (h) (length of new supervised-
release term shall not exceed term authorized by statute for offense of conviction,
less revocation prison terms), (k) (for violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2250, maximum term
of supervised release is life).

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




      1
      The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa.
