Before ERICKSON, GRASZ, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________
PER CURIAM.
Kermit Clay received a 15-year supervised-release sentence after he violated the release conditions previously placed on him. He challenges the substantive reasonableness of the sentence. We conclude that the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008) (reviewing the reasonableness of a revocation sentence for an abuse of discretion and stating that a within-Guidelines- range sentence is presumptively reasonable). The record establishes that the district court 1 sufficiently considered the statutory sentencing factors, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a), 3583(c), (e)(3), (h), and did not rely on an improper factor or commit a clear error of judgment. See United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923–24 (8th Cir. 2006). We accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court. ______________________________
1 The Honorable Stephen R. Bough, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. -2-
