release. In 2015 the district court1 found Siders in violation of his supervised release
for the third time after he failed to comply with substance abuse testing, used a
controlled substance, consumed alcohol, and operated a motor vehicle while
intoxicated. The court revoked his supervised release. The advisory guidelines
sentencing range was 8 to 14 months. The court imposed a sentence of 12 months
imprisonment and one year of supervised release.
Siders argues that the court imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence
under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). We conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in the sentence it imposed. See United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822,
824 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
