Jarvey, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. Appellate Case: 15-3870 Page: 1 Date Filed: 04/12/2016 Entry ID: 4387444 conditions. The court revoked supervised release and imposed a revocation sentence of 5 months in prison--a sentence falling below the advisory Guidelines revocation range--and 41 months of additional supervised release. Mr. Southern appeals, and argues for reversal that the sentence is substantively unreasonable. Upon careful review of the record before us, we reject Mr. Southern’s argument, and conclude that the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw. ______________________________ -2- Appellate Case: 15-3870 Page: 2 Date Filed: 04/12/2016 Entry ID: 4387444
