Before MELLOY, BOWMAN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       In this direct criminal appeal, Vernice Christian challenges the reasonableness
of the twelve-month, within-Guidelines-range sentence that the District Court1
imposed upon revoking his supervised release. Upon careful review, we conclude that
the revocation sentence is not unreasonable. See United States v. Tyson, 413 F.3d
824, 825 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (noting that revocation sentences are reviewed
for unreasonableness in accordance with United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220
(2005)); see also 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) (2006) (setting statutory maximum revocation

        The Honorable Robert T. Dawson, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas.
sentences and requiring that a court consider certain of the factors set forth in 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) before imposing a revocation sentence); United States v. Perkins,
526 F.3d 1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008) (noting that a district court need not make
specific findings on the § 3553(a) factors in a revocation proceeding and that a
revocation sentence within the Guidelines range is accorded a presumption of
reasonableness).

      We affirm the district court’s judgment, and we grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw.
