United States v. Mateo
Opinion
Appointed counsel for Victor Mateo has filed a motion to withdraw and an accompanying brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. *400 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Mateo has responded to counsel’s brief. Mateo also moves this court for the appointment of new counsel and consideration of his case by the m banc court. Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Mateo’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is EXCUSED from further responsibilities herein, and this appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cm. R. 42.2. All other outstanding motions are DENIED.
Our review did reveal one clerical error in the record. The indictment charged Mateo with attempted distribution of more than 500 grams of cocaine. This same offense is listed in his plea agreement and was given at rearraignment. The judgment, however, lists the offense of conviction as possession of more than 500 grams of cocaine with intent to distribute. Accordingly, this matter is REMANDED TO THE DISTRICT COURT for correction of the clerical error in the judgment pursuant to Fed.R.CrimP. 36.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under *400 the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
