Lajuan House appeals after the district court1 revoked his supervised release and imposed an above-Guidelines-range sentence of 24 months in prison with no term 1 The Honorable David Gregory Kays, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. of supervised release to follow. On appeal, House argues the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable revocation sentence. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing House. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917-18 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). Though House disagrees with the weight given to certain sentencing factors, there is no indication the district court failed to consider a relevant factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing relevant factors. See United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923 (8th Cir. 2006) (discussing substantive reasonableness); see also United States v. Vaca, 38 F.4th 718, 724 (8th Cir. 2022) (explaining that “mere disagreement” with how the court weighed the factors “does not justify reversal”). Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________ -2-
