                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:21-CR-1856-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Stewart, Elrod, and Southwick, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
         The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Robert Lee
   Wilkes, Jr., 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). Wilkes has filed a response. The
   record is not sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of

         _____________________

Case: 23-40158      Document: 00516887480          Page: 2   Date Filed: 09/07/2023

                                    No. 23-40158

   Wilkes’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to
   consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States
   v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Wilkes’s response. We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
   appellate review.     Accordingly, the 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.
          Our review reveals a clerical error in the written judgment. Wilkes
   pleaded guilty to count six of the indictment. The judgment states that he
   pleaded guilty to count six of the indictment, but it also lists that he was
   adjudicated guilty of count one. Thus, this matter is REMANDED for the
   limited purpose of correcting the clerical error in the judgment in accordance
   with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.
