No. 23-50175
Pineda’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel; we therefore decline to consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
We have otherwise reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Sandoval-Pineda’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the 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. Sandoval-Pineda’s motion for the appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED as untimely.
See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902–03 (5th Cir. 1998).
We note that there is a clerical error in the written judgment. It lists 18 U.S.C. § 844(2) as one of the violated statutory provisions for count six instead of 18 U.S.C. § 2. Accordingly, we REMAND for the limited purpose of correction of that clerical error in the written judgment in accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.
