conditions. The court revoked supervised release and imposed a revocation sentence
of 8 months in prison and 48 months of additional supervised release. On appeal,
Watson contends that the court abused its discretion by failing to articulate its
consideration of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. After careful review, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion. See United States v.
Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 915-16 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review); United States v.
Gray, 533 F.3d 942, 943-44 (8th Cir. 2008). The judgment is affirmed.
