discretion in sentencing him to two years in prison. Additionally, his counsel has
moved to withdraw. We conclude that the district court did not clearly err in its
factual findings, or abuse its discretion in sentencing Simpson. See United States v.
Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 914-917 (8th Cir. 2009) (standards of review); United States v.
Meyer, 483 F.3d 865, 869 (8th Cir. 2007) (discussing reliability of sweat-patch
results).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the
judgment of the district court.
