No. 22-11015

28 U.S.C. § 2255. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Perales’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. However, the judgment contains a clerical error: it lists the offense of conviction as “Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute a Schedule I Controlled Substance.” Perales pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance. See 21 C.F.R. § 1308.12(d)(2).

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 error in the judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.
