JOSE LUIS VALLE-RAMIREZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 2:15-CR-586-1

Before JOLLY, PRADO, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Luis Valle-Ramirez
raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Torres-Jaime, 821
F.3d 577 (5th Cir. 2016), petition for cert. filed (Sept. 1, 2016) (No. 16-5853). In
Torres-Jaime, we held that a Georgia conviction for aggravated assault
qualifies as a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 (2014). Torres-Jaime,
821 F.3d at 580-85. He also raises an argument that is foreclosed by United

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                 No. 15-41719

States v. Gonzalez-Longoria, 831 F.3d 670 (5th Cir. 2016) (en banc), petition for
cert. filed (Sept. 29, 2016) (No. 16-6259). In Gonzalez-Longoria, we held that
18 U.S.C. § 16(b), which defines a crime of violence when incorporated by
reference into § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C), is not unconstitutionally vague on its face in
light of Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015). Gonzalez-Longoria,
831 F.3d at 672.      Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is
GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is
DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
      Nevertheless, the written judgment contains a clerical error in that it
identifies Valle-Ramirez’s statute of conviction as 8 U.S.C. § 1324, rather than
§ 1326. We therefore REMAND for correction of the written judgment in
accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36. See United States v.
Johnson, 588 F.2d 961, 964 (5th Cir. 1979).
