                      ______________________________

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 3:21-CR-493-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Felipe De La
   Cruz-Arias has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in
   accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States
   v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). De La Cruz-Arias has filed a response.
   We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record

          _____________________
          *
              This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 22-11134     Document: 00516839686          Page: 2   Date Filed: 07/31/2023

                                   No. 22-11134

   reflected therein, as well as De La Cruz-Arias’s response. We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
   appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is
   GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and
   the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
         The record reflects a clerical error in the written judgment; though
   the judgment identifies the statute of conviction as 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), the
   record indicates that De La Cruz-Arias was convicted and sentenced
   pursuant to § 1326(a) and (b)(1). Accordingly, we REMAND for the limited
   purpose of correction of that clerical error in the written judgment in
   accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.
