Adam Shouse appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release and sentenced him to 12 months in prison, followed by 15 months of supervised

After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the revocation sentence. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917-18 (8th Cir. 2009). There is no indication that the district court overlooked a relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing the relevant factors. See United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923-24 (8th Cir. 2006); see also United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008) (holding that a revocation sentence within the Guidelines range is accorded a presumption of reasonableness on appeal).

Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm. ______________________________
