______________________________

Before Elrod, Chief Judge, and Smith and Duncan, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Stephen Earl 

Benzenhafer 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). Benzenhafer has not filed a response.

reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal 

presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. We note, however, that 

the judgment contains a clerical error as it orders Benzenhafer to forfeit his 

interest in an Apple iPhone SE bearing serial number “FFMFRLZZPLIN.”

The correct serial number of the subject phone is “FFMFRLZZPLJN.”

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. The case is REMANDED to the 

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

judgment. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36.
