Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Vincent Hernandez was convicted after a bench trial of all three counts charged in his superseding indictment: conspiracy to dis tribute and possess with intent to distribute marijuana and 280 grams or more of cocaine base (“crack”) (Count 1); possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime , in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) (2012) (Count 2); and possession of a fi rearm by a convicted felon , in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (2012) (Count 3)
. The district court sentenced Hernandez to sixty months of imprisonment on Counts 1 and 3 , to run concurrently, and to sixty months on Count 2, to run consecutively, for a tot al of 120 months of imprisonment. Hernandez appeals raising two issues: (1) whether his convictions are supported by substantial evidence, and (2) whether the district court erred by denying his motion for a new trial. For the reasons that follow, we aff irm Hernandez’s convictions and sentence but remand to the district court for correction of clerical error.
A defendant who challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction bears a heavy burden , United States v. Beidler , 110 F.3d 1064 , 1067 (4th Cir. 1997) , because we review the issue in the light most favorable to the
Government. Glasser v. United States , 315 U.S. 60, 80 (1942)
.3 Reviewing the evidence as required, we find the convictions are supported by substantial evidence and the refore affirm.
We observe, however, that the district court’s criminal judgment de notes that Hernandez’s drug conspiracy in
Count 1 involved an unspecified amount of crack and refers to the superseding indictment. But in pronouncing its verdict, the court concluded that it could only find twenty

- eight grams in the conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt (J.A. 386

- 87) , and in a later memorandum opinion the court noted that “it convicted [Hernandez] of the lesser included offense of conspi racy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 28 grams or more of cocaine base because it found that only 28 to 280 grams of cocaine were foreseeable to Hernandez as a member of the conspiracy.” (J.A. 530)
. ∗ Although a court speaks throu gh its judgments and orders, see Murdaugh Volkswagen, Inc. v. First Nat ’ l Bank , 741 F.2d 41, 44 (4th Cir. 1984), in criminal cases , the general rule is that the oral pronouncement of the sentence governs. Rakes v. United States , 309 F.2d 686, 687

- 88 (4th Cir. 1962). We thus conclude that the conflict between the criminal judgment and all other record facts in this case is clerical error that should be

∗ The Government concedes on appeal that Hernandez was only found guilty of distributing 28 grams of crack in Count 1. See Appellee’s Br. at 4.4 corrected. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36. Thus, we remand this case
to t he district court with instructions t o amend the criminal judgment to reflect that the conspiracy in Count 1 involved twenty

- eight grams or more of cocaine base
. Next, Hernandez alleges that the district court erred by denying his motion for a new trial. In his Fed. R. Crim. P. 33 motion, Hernandez noted that a confidential informant, who testified in his case , later retained some crack following a controlled buy in an unrelated case. Hernandez claimed that the informant’s conduct in th at unrelated case constituted new evidence in his tria l and established grounds for his Rule 33 motion. The district court denied the motion noting that other evidence , separate from the confidential informant , supported his convictions. We find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of the m otion. See United States v. Robinson , 627 F.3d 941, 948 (4th Cir. 2010) (providing review standard and five

- factor test for analyzing Rule 33 claims)
. Accordingly, we affirm Hernandez’s convictions and sentence but remand to the district court for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical error, specified above. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately p resented in the materials before
t his court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
