PER CURIAM:

Spencer Bowens appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion to correct a clerical error pursuant to Fed. 

R. Crim. P. 36. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant Bowens’s 

motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Bowens, 

No. 3:98-cr-00110-REP (E.D. Va. Aug. 6, 2009); see United 

States v. Johnson, 571 F.3d 716, 717-18 (7th Cir. 2009) (finding 

that court did not have authority to correct calculation error 

in the presentence report pursuant to Rule 36). We dispense 

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are 

adequately presented in the materials before the court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
