supervised release. After careful review, this court affirms. See United States v.
Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009) (this court reviews revocation sentence
for abuse of discretion, first reviewing for significant procedural error, and then
considering substantive reasonableness). The district court identified the relevant
sentencing factors, explained its reasons for the sentence, and did not commit a clear
error of judgment. See id. at 917 (outlining substantive-reasonableness test); see also
United States v. Hum, 766 F.3d 925, 927-28 (8th Cir. 2014) (per curiam) (rejecting
argument that district court failed to adequately consider 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors,
as court properly considered defendant’s history and noncompliance on supervision,
and need to deter and maintain respect for court’s directives).
The judgment is affirmed. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
