His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief suggesting that the revocation sentence is substantively unreasonable.

Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1109-10 (8th Cir. 2008) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence is reviewed for abuse of discretion; revocation sentence within Guidelines range is accorded presumption of substantive reasonableness on appeal).
We therefore affirm, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________
