PER CURIAM.
Michael R. Petreikis appeals the twelve-month prison sentence the district

revocation sentence). Petreikis argues his sentence “was greater than necessary to
accomplish the goals of sentencing, and was therefore unreasonable.” In Petreikis’s
view, the district court “failed to give adequate weight to important factors,” including
Petreikis’s advanced age, failing health, efforts to improve the circumstances of his
supervised release before absconding, and the lack of “evidence that he committed any
new offenses” “[d]uring his absence from supervision.” Having carefully reviewed
the record, we conclude the district court properly considered the relevant sentencing
factors, see 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a), 3583(e)(3), and did not impose an unreasonable
revocation sentence. See United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1110-11 (8th Cir.
2008); United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923-24 (8th Cir. 2006).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B(1), (4).
