    ____________
    Before SMITH, ERICKSON, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
    ____________
    PER CURIAM.
    Kierre Balark appeals the above-Guidelines-range sentence the district court1
    imposed after revoking his supervised release. His counsel has moved to withdraw,
    and has filed a brief arguing that the sentence is substantively unreasonable.
    We conclude that the district court did not impose an unreasonable sentence
    upon revocation of Balark’s supervised release. See United States v. Miller, 
    557 F.3d 910
    , 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). There is no indication that the 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 the relevant
    factors. See United States v. Larison, 
    432 F.3d 921
    , 923 (8th Cir. 2006) (revocation
    sentence may be unreasonable if district court fails to consider relevant factor, gives
    significant weight to improper or irrelevant factor, or commits clear error of
    judgment); see also United States v. Michels, 
    49 F.4th 1146
    , 1149 (8th Cir. 2022)
    (sentence above Guidelines range was not abuse of discretion).
    Accordingly, we grant counsel leave to withdraw, and we affirm the judgment.
