No. 19-11247 issue for appellate review. However, we note that the judgment incorrectly refers to 21 U.S.C. § 841(v)(1)(A)(viii), a nonexistent section, instead of § 841(b)(1)(A)(viii), as correctly set forth in the indictment to which Castro pleaded guilty. 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 case is REMANDED to the district court for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical error in the judgment.
