Before JONES, HIGGINSON, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Zachariah Efrain 

Castro 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

issue for appellate review. However, we note that the judgment incorrectly 

refers to 21 U.S.C. § 841(v)(1)(A)(viii), a nonexistent section, instead of 

§ 841(b)(1)(A)(viii), as correctly set forth in the indictment to which Castro

pleaded guilty. 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. This case is REMANDED to 

the district court for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical error in the 

judgment.
