UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                                                     Clerk

                                                 Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

LUIGI MONTES,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:12-CR-65

Before DAVIS, CLEMENT, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Luigi Montes 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).
Montes has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the
relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s
assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
    Case: 13-40760      Document: 00512756988   Page: 2   Date Filed: 09/04/2014

                                 No. 13-40760

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, however, reflects a clerical error in the written judgment.
Montes was charged with and pleaded guilty to conspiring to make a false
statement to the Government and to make a false claim against the
Government. However, the written judgment describes the “nature of the
offense” as conspiracy to make a false statement to the Government.
Accordingly, we REMAND for correction of the clerical error in the written
judgment in accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36. See
United States v. Higgins, 739 F.3d 733, 739 n.16 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 134 S.
Ct. 2319 (2014); United States v. Pouncy, 539 F. App’x 437, 438 (5th Cir. 2013);
United States v. Rosales, 448 F. App’x 466, 466-67 (5th Cir. 2011).
