United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 17-3089 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellee v. Douglas A. Packett, also known as Peckerwood lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellant ___________________________ No. 17-3382 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellee v. Douglas A. Packett lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellant ____________ Appeals from United States District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha ____________ Submitted: February 13, 2018 Filed: February 27, 2018 (Unpublished) ____________ Before GRUENDER, MURPHY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. In these consolidated appeals, Douglas Packett directly appeals the concurrent within-Guidelines-range sentences the district court1 imposed upon revoking his supervised release in the underlying cases. His counsel has moved for leave to withdraw, and has filed a brief asserting that the sentences are substantively unreasonable. Reviewing Packett’s revocation sentences for an abuse of discretion, see United States v. Growden, 663 F.3d 982, 984 (8th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (standard of review), we conclude that the sentences are not unreasonable, as both the prison terms and the supervised-release term are within the statutory limits, and the prison terms are within the applicable advisory Guidelines range, see United States v. Petreikis, 551 F.3d 822, 824 (8th Cir. 2009) (applying presumption of substantive reasonableness to revocation sentence within Guidelines range). We affirm the judgments, and we grant counsel leave to withdraw. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Laurie Smith Camp, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Nebraska. -2-
