Text: Lennon correctly states that the judgment erroneously indicates he entered a plea of guilty. This error is clerical in nature because it is clear the district court knew Lennon pled not guilty and proceeded to trial as the sentencing judge was the same judge who presided over Lennon’s trial. Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provides: “After giving any notice it considers appropriate, the court may at any time correct a clerical error in a judgment . . . .” While -21- Lennon could have moved to amend the judgment in the district court, 15 we will remand this matter for the limited purpose of allowing the judgment to be amended. United States v. Morales, 108 F.3d 1213, 1225 (10th Cir. 1997) (“Ordinarily, we . . . remand a case involving clerical mistake to the district court for correction.”).
