No. 17-50384 appellate review. See United States v. Pesina-Rodriguez, 825 F.3d 787, 788 (5th Cir. 2016).

Our review reveals clerical errors in the written judgment concerning the description of Rangel’s offense and the applicable statutory provisions.

Specifically, the judgment reflects that Rangel was convicted and sentenced for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine under 21 U.S.C. § 846 rather than for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(C).

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. This matter is REMANDED for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical errors in the judgment. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 36; United States v. Johnson, 588 F.2d 961, 964 (5th Cir. 1979).
