                     Appeals from the United States District Court
                          for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC Nos. 4:21-CR-17-1, 4:22-CR-408-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Smith, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Timothy Tyler was sentenced to 480 months after pleading guilty of
   possessing child pornography in 2019 and possessing and distributing child
   pornography in 2020. On appeal, he asks this court to address an error in the
   written judgments.
          The sentence includes a consecutive term of imprisonment per
   18 U.S.C. § 3147, which provides an enhancement for offenses committed
   while the offender was on pretrial release. Although the written judgments
   state that the enhancement was imposed on the 2019 offense, the district
   court’s oral pronouncement at sentencing is ambiguous. We conclude that
   the court’s intent was to impose the enhancement on Tyler’s conviction of
   distribution in 2020 and that it is “by merely clerical mistake or oversight”
   that the judgments indicate otherwise. United States v. Buendia-Rangel,
   553 F.3d 378, 379 (5th Cir. 2008) (internal quotation marks and citation
   omitted).
          Accordingly, the judgments are AFFIRMED, but the cases are
   REMANDED for the limited purpose of correcting the error in the judg-
   ments. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36.
