PER CURIAM.
Terrini Trenise Griffin appeals after the district court1 revoked her most recent
grant of conditional release and sentenced her to four months in prison, followed by

the Southern District of Iowa.
eighteen months of supervised release. Her counsel has moved to withdraw and has
filed a brief, asserting that Griffin’s sentence of incarceration with supervised release
is substantively unreasonable.
We note that Griffin was released from federal prison on October 16, 2020.
We conclude that her revocation sentence is not moot, see United States v. Melton,
666 F.3d 513, 514 n.3 (8th Cir. 2012), and that the revocation prison term and
supervised release term were both substantively reasonable. The district court
sufficiently considered the relevant statutory sentencing factors and did not give
significant weight to an improper factor or commit a clear error of judgment. See
18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a), 3583(e); United States v. Miller,
557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir.
2009) (standard of review). Furthermore, the prison term was below the applicable
policy statement range in the Guidelines, see United States v. Feemster,
572 F.3d 455,
464 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc), and both terms were below the statutory limits, see
18 U.S.C. § 3583(b)(2), (e)(3), (h).
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
