James C. Curtman lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph ____________ Submitted: March 27, 2026 Filed: May 6, 2026 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SHEPHERD, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

James Curtman appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release and sentenced him to 14 months in prison. His counsel has moved for leave to The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, now Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. withdraw, and has filed a brief challenging the substantive reasonableness of the revocation sentence.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the sentence was not unreasonable, as there is no indication that the district court overlooked a relevant 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. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (substantive reasonableness of revocation sentence is reviewed under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard), and the sentence was below the statutory limit, see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3).

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