SCOTT ALVIN KOCH,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 6:18-CR-24-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Scott Alvin Koch

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with 

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 

229 (5th Cir. 2011). Koch has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s

appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is 

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the 

APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

We note, however, that there is a clerical error in the written judgment. 

While Koch pleaded guilty to Count 2 of the superseding indictment, which 

charged him with felony possession of a firearm, the written judgment 

erroneously states that he was convicted of felony possession of a “Firearm and 

Ammunition.” The words “and Ammunition” should be deleted from the 

written judgment. Accordingly, we REMAND for correction of the clerical error 

in the written judgment in accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal 

Procedure 36.
