portions of the record. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.
The district court was without jurisdiction, however, to enter the amended judgments during the pendency of this appeal. See United States v. Lucero, 755 F. App’x 384, 386−87 (5th Cir. 2018) (citing Griggs v. Provident Consumer Disc. Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982)). Thus, the original judgment stands. It contains a clerical error regarding the date on which the offense ended. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36. After the conclusion of this appeal, the district court regains jurisdiction to amend the judgment to correct clerical errors under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.
The motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, the appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous, the first and second amended judgments are VACATED for want of juris- diction, and the case is REMANDED for correction of the original judg- ments’ clerical error regarding the offense date. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2; Lucero, 755 F. App’x at 386−87.
