CR 03-2509-TUC-CKJ

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendant's Motion to Correct Judgment for Clerical Error.

In December of 2003, pursuant to a plea agreement, Defendant plead guilty to conspiracy to

transport undocumented aliens and placing those aliens in jeopardy of their lives. On

February 24, 2004, judgment was entered against Defendant whereby he was sentenced to

15 months imprisonment for "Conspiracy to Transport Illegal Aliens for the Purpose of

Commercial Advantage and Private Financial Gain." However, as Defendant correctly

argues, Defendant never admitted to committing the offense in question for commercial

advantage or private financial gain pursuant to the plea agreement; further, Defendant never

made any such admission at the change of plea hearing. The Government has taken no

position as to Defendant's Motion to Correct Judgment for Clerical Error. 

As such, in light of this clerical error, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Judgment is

"Conspiracy to Transport Illegal Aliens for the Purpose of Commercial Advantage and

Private Financial Gain." See FED.R.CRIM.P. 36 (allowing clerical errors to be corrected at

anytime). Rather, the Judgment shall state the offense as "Conspiracy to Transport Illegal

Aliens and Placing in Jeopardy the Lives of Said Illegal Aliens." See id. The Clerk of the

Court shall enter an amended judgment reflecting these corrections.

DATED this 11th day of April, 2006.
