United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 22-2633 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Kamaury Taujheim Watson lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central ____________ Submitted: December 29, 2022 Filed: January 6, 2023 [Unpublished] ____________ Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Kamaury Watson violated the conditions of supervised release by failing to report to a halfway house. He argues that the sentence he received—8 months of prison time followed by 18 months of supervised release—is too long. We conclude that the sentence is substantively reasonable. See United States v. Miller, 557 F.3d 910, 917 (8th Cir. 2009) (reviewing the reasonableness of a revocation sentence for an abuse of discretion); United States v. Perkins, 526 F.3d 1107, 1110 (8th Cir. 2008) (stating that a within-Guidelines-range sentence is presumptively reasonable). The record establishes that the district court 1 sufficiently considered the statutory sentencing factors, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a), 3583(e)(3), and did not rely on an improper factor or commit a clear error of judgment. See United States v. Larison, 432 F.3d 921, 923–24 (8th Cir. 2006). We accordingly affirm the judgment and grant counsel permission to withdraw. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. -2-
