Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Billy Leroy Pendergrass pled guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute five or more grams of crack, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(l)(B)-(C) (2006). In a written plea agreement, the parties agreed to a 222-month sentence, and the government agreed to dismiss the remaining ten counts in an eleven-count indictment. At the sentencing hearing, the district court imposed the 222-month sentence and an additional eight years of supervised release. The court subsequently entered an amended judgment reducing the term of supervised release to four years.
Pendergrass' counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), stating that, in his view, there are no meritorious issues for appeal. In his brief, however, counsel questions whether the district court erred in amending the judgment under Fed.R.Crim.P. 36. Pendergrass was informed of his right to file a pro se supplemental brief but has not done so. Pendergrass has, however, filed a pro se motion seeking to strike the Anders brief. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment and deny Pendergrass' motion.
Rule 36 allows the district court to correct a clerical mistake in the judgment or other part of the record "arising from oversight or omission." In this case, the government mistakenly retained a sentencing enhancement that increased Pendergrass' term of supervised release. Pendergrass filed a consent motion, and the district court granted the motion and entered an amended judgment. In short, there is no error, since Pendergrass' motion was granted and he received the sentence for which he bargained.
In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the record in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal. The plea colloquy confixms that the district court fully complied with the mandates of Rule 11 in accepting Pendergrass' guilty plea. See United States v. DeFusco, 949 F.2d 114, 116, 119-20 (4th Cir.1991). We further conclude that Pendergrass' sentence is both proeedurally and substantively reasonable. We therefox'e deny Pendergrass' motion to strike and affirm his conviction and seixtence.
This court inquires that counsel inform Pendergrass, in writing, of his right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for fux-ther x-eview. If Pendergrass' requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdx'aw from representation. Counsel's motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Pendergrass. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and ax-gument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
