IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-40187

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

RAMON VASQUEZ-DIAZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:13-CR-958-1

Before REAVLEY, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

It is undisputed that the written judgment convicting Ramon VasquezDiaz of illegal reentry of a deported alien incorrectly reflects that he was 

convicted under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2). The parties disagree as to whether the 

proper remedy is remand for the district court to enter a modified judgment or 

for this court itself to modify and affirm the judgment. We choose the latter. 

We therefore AFFIRM the judgment of the district court but REFORM it to 

* 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.
