                                                                    Plaintiff—Appellee,

                                          versus

                                            Defendant—Appellant.
                   ______________________________

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:21-CR-30-2
                   ______________________________

Before Jolly, Engelhardt, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Amera Khalid
Salam 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). Salam has not filed a response. We have reviewed
counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We

       _____________________

           This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 23-10443        Document: 57-1       Page: 2     Date Filed: 03/04/2024

                                  No. 23-10443

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.
       During the pendency of this appeal, the district court lacked
jurisdiction to enter the amended judgment correcting a clerical error. See
United States v. Willis, 76 F.4th 467, 471-73 (5th Cir. 2023). We therefore
REMAND the case so that the district court, no longer divested of its
jurisdiction by virtue of this appeal, may correct the clerical error. See United
States v. Fults, 71 F.4th 328, 329 (5th Cir. 2023); Fed. R. Crim. P. 36.
