brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. However, we disagree with counsel’s assertion that the judgment should be modified to correct a purported clerical error in the judgment. Consistent with the oral pronouncement, the written judgment includes a statement that the district court intends for Ghoston’s federal sentence to run “fully concurrent with any future state sentence(s) imposed.” 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.
