Heading: Correction of a Clerical Error

Text: If the final judgment contains a clerical error, we have the authority to remand the case to the district court with instructions to correct the error. See United States v. Anderton, 136 F.3d 747, 751 (11th Cir. 1998). However, remand for correction of the judgment is appropriate only where the mistake is a clerical error, and correction would not prejudice the defendant in any reversible way. United States v. Diaz, 190 F.3d 1247, 1252 (11th Cir. 1999). Both Broomfield’s indictment and the evidence presented at his trial indicated that the offense occurred on or about January 21, 2011. However, the 17 Case: 13-15827 Date Filed: 12/03/2014 Page: 18 of 18 final judgment incorrectly states that the offense concluded on January 11, 2011. The parties agree that this discrepancy in dates is the result of a clerical error and that the judgment should have listed the date the offense concluded as January 21, 2011. Correcting the judgment to reflect the correct date would not prejudice Broomfield in any way. Accordingly, we remand for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical error.
