Roscoe Chambers, also known as Tommy lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern ____________ Submitted: January 26, 2024 Filed: January 31, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before GRUENDER, SHEPHERD, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Roscoe Chambers appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release and sentenced him to 2 years in prison and 8 years of supervised release. His The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief challenging the sentence.

After careful review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Chambers, as it properly considered the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors; there was no indication that it overlooked a relevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors, see United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence is reviewed under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard); see also United States v. White Face, 383 F.3d 733, 740 (8th Cir. 2004) (district court need not mechanically list every § 3553(a) factor when sentencing defendant upon revocation; all that is required is consideration of relevant matters and some reason for court’s decision); and the sentence was within the advisory Guidelines range, and below the statutory limit, see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (maximum revocation prison term is 5 years for Class A felony); 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(B) (maximum supervised release term is life).

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