IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-40421

Summary Calendar 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Plaintiff-Appellee 

v. 

RYAN SCOTT DANIEL TAYLOR, 

Defendant-Appellant 

Appeal from the United States District Court 

for the Southern District of Texas 

USDC No. 2:15-CR-219-1 

Before DAVIS, SOUTHWICK, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Ryan Scott Daniel Taylor appeals an aspect of the sentence imposed after 

he pleaded guilty to credit card fraud and aggravated identity theft. He argues 

that the written judgment should be amended to accurately reflect the district 

court’s oral pronouncement at sentencing that it would recommend that Taylor 

participate in the 500-hour Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program 

(RDAP) offered by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The written judgment 

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

recommends only a non-specific drug treatment program. Taylor contends that 

the BOP has several drug treatment programs but that only the RDAP can 

result in a sentence reduction. The Government agrees that the oral and 

written judgments are in conflict and that a remand for correction of the 

written judgment is appropriate. 

 Accordingly, the written judgement is AMENDED to conform to the 

court’s oral pronouncement recommending that Taylor participate in the 

RDAP specifically. See United States v. Wheeler, 322 F.3d 823, 828 (5th Cir. 

2003); United States v. Castaneda, 494 F. App’x 484, 485 (5th Cir. 2012)

(unpublished); 28 U.S.C. § 2106. In all other respects to the judgment is 

AFFIRMED as amended. See Wheeler, 322 F.3d at 828; 28 U.S.C. § 2106.
