ARMANDO GARCIA GRACIA, also known as Armando Garcia, also known as
Armando Garcia Garcia, also known as Armanda Garcia-Gracia, also known as
Amando Garcia-Garcia,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:09-CR-657-1

Before REAVLEY, SMITH and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Armando Garcia Gracia pleaded guilty to one count of being illegally
present in the United States and received a sentence of 50 months in prison, to
be followed by a three-year term of supervised release. Garcia Gracia argues
that the written judgment conflicts with the oral statements made at sentencing
with respect to the sex offender registration requirement of supervised release.

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 10-20374

      We remanded the case for the limited purpose of allowing the court to
clarify the discrepancies between the oral statements and the written judgment.
During this remand, the court clarified the written judgment, stating that
Garcia Gracia was required to register if state or federal law mandated
registration and the requirements applied to Garcia Gracia.            If such a
registration is required, the probation officer is authorized to provide necessary
information and to direct Garcia Gracia to report to the agency in charge of sex
offender registration for additional processing. With this clarification, Garcia
Gracia’s concerns about registration being subject to the discretion of the
probation officer have been resolved, and there is no longer a conflict between
the oral pronouncements at sentencing and the written judgment. Accordingly,
we AFFIRM the original sentence as clarified.
