Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Shemika Parson Williams pleaded guilty to conspi ring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute 50 grams or more of metha mphetamine and 500 grams or more of a mixture containing a detectable amount of methamphetamin e , in violation
21 U.S.C. § § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A) , 846 (2012), and knowingly carrying and using a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A) (2012). The district court sentenced Williams to a total of 180 months of imprisonment

— the statutory mandatory minimum of 120 months on the drug charge, and the statutory mandatory consecutive 60 month term on the firearm count

— and 5 years of supervised release. On appeal, counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), questioning whether the length of Williams’ sentence is substantively reasonable. Williams has also filed a pro se supplemental brief raising two issues. We affirm the conviction and sentence and remand to correct a clerical error in the judgment. * Williams’ counsel questions whether the district court’s sentence of 180 months’ imprisonment and five years’ supervised release was substantively reasonable. Under Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38 (2007), we review sentences under a deferential abuse

of

- discretion standard. Id. at 41. “A statutorily required sentence . . . is per se

* Williams pleaded guilty to conspiracy, yet the judgment does not reference § 846, the applicable conspiracy statute. We therefore remand the case so that the district court may amend the judgment to reflect that Williams pleaded guilty to violating 21 U.S.C. § § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), 846. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36 (correcting cle rical error)

.3 reasonable.” United States v. Farrior , 535 F.3 d 210, 224 (4th Cir. 2008), abrogated on other grounds by Rodriguez v. United States , 135 S. Ct. 1609 (2015). Because the district court imposed the statutory minimum sentence, we conclude that Williams cannot establish that her sentence of imprisonment i s substantively unreasonable. In her pro se supplemental brief, Williams first challenges her conviction under § 924(c)(1)(A), asserting that it is invalid following the Supreme Court’s holding in Sessions v. Dimaya , 138 S. Ct. 1204 (2018), which held tha t the residual clause of
18 U.S.C. § 16(b) (2012) is unconstitutionally vague. Id. at 1215

- 16. Williams’ conviction does not implicate the Dimaya ruling because Williams was not convicted under § 924(c)’s crime of violence clause. See Id. at 1210 (defin ing question addressed). Instead, Williams was convicted under § 924(c)’s drug trafficking clause. Therefore, the district court did not err in finding Williams guilty of violating § 924(c). Williams’ next claims that her sentence violates Alleyne v. Un ited States , 570 U.S. 99 (2013), because the district court improperly found facts that increased her sentence, in violation of the Sixth Amendment. Williams argues that the district court erred in finding her responsible for the entire quantity of metham phetamine and the firearm found in the vehicle she was driving during her traffic stop. However, Alleyne distinguishes those factual findings that raise the minimum or maximum sentence a defendant faces
from those that inform the district court’s choice o f sentence within the minimum and maximum ranges. Id. at 111

- 17. “[F]actfinding used to guide judicial discretion in selecting a punishment within limits fixed by law” does not violate the Sixth Amendment. Id. at 113 n.2 (internal quotation marks omitte d).4 Here, Williams pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, for which the statutory minimum
pe nalty is 10 years’ imprisonment, see 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(b)(1)(A)(viii), 846, and also to possessing or using a firearm in connection with a drug trafficking crime, for which the statutory minimum penalty i s 5 years’ imprisonment consecutive to the drug sent ence,

see 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(i). Therefore, the district court correctly determined that Williams was subject to a n aggregate mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years’ imprisonment. At the sentencing hearing, the district court concluded that William s was responsible for 2.51 kilograms of “Ice” methamphetamine, which established a base offense level of 36 under the Sentencing Guidelines. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2D1.1(c)(2) (2016). This finding did not raise the minimum or maximum sentenc e faced by Williams, but merely informed the district court’s decision within the range established by statute. Therefore, the district court’s factual findings did not violate Alleyne or the Sixth Amendment. In accordance with Anders , we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. We therefore affirm Williams’ conviction and sentence , but remand for correction of the judgment, see supra n.*. This court requires that counsel inform Williams , in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for further review. If Williams requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in5 this court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Williams

. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED AND REMANDED
