United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 06-3642 ___________ United States of America, Appellee, v. Edward G. Boyer, Appellant. * * * * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the * Eastern District of Missouri. * * [UNPUBLISHED] * ___________ Submitted: September 6, 2007 Filed: September 14, 2007 ___________ Before BYE, RILEY, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. The district court1 revoked Edward G. Boyer s (Boyer) supervised release and sentenced him below the advisory revocation range to 18 months in prison and 18 months of supervised release with the first 90 days of supervised release to be served in an inpatient drug abuse treatment program. Boyer appeals the sentence as unreasonable. After reviewing the record and Boyer s arguments, we conclude the sentence is not unreasonable. See United States v. Tyson, 413 F.3d 824, 825 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (standard of review). In particular, the court was mindful of the 1 The Honorable Rodney W.

We therefore affirm. ______________________________ -2-
