We conclude that Heggie’s revocation sentence, which is within the statutory limits and the undisputed Chapter 7 advisory Guidelines range, is not substantively unreasonable. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (maximum prison term upon revocation is 2 years for Class C felony); United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824-25 (8th Cir. 2009) (supervised-release revocation sentence is reviewed for substantive reasonableness under deferential abuse-of-discretion standard; withinGuidelines-range revocation sentence is accorded presumption of reasonableness on appeal). We therefore affirm, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________ -2-
