                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Western District of Texas
                          USDC No. 2:22-CR-2393-1
                  ______________________________

Before Higginbotham, Stewart, and Southwick, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: *
      The attorney appointed to represent Manuel Munoz-Betancourt 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). Munoz-Betancourt has filed a response. The record is not
sufficiently developed to allow us to make a fair evaluation of Munoz-

Case: 23-50462        Document: 42-1       Page: 2    Date Filed: 03/12/2024

                                  No. 23-50462

Betancourt’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 Munoz-Betancourt’s response. We
concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous
issue for appellate review. 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. Munoz-
Betancourt’s motion for the appointment of counsel is DENIED.
       There is a clerical error in the revocation order. The order does not
accurately reflect that Munoz-Betancourt pleaded true to the violations
alleged in the petition to revoke supervised release.       Accordingly, we
REMAND for correction of the clerical error in the revocation order in
accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36. See United States v.
Powell, 354 F.3d 362, 371-72 (5th Cir. 2003).
