clerical errors in the judgment that must be corrected and asks us to remand.
Specifically, the district court’s judgment inaccurately reflects that Garcia pleaded guilty to count one of the indictment and that the Government moved to dismiss count two of the indictment. The judgment has it exactly backwards: Garcia pleaded guilty to count two and the Government moved to dismiss count one. The Government concedes the clerical errors and does not oppose a remand. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36 (“[T]he [district] court may at any time correct a clerical error in a judgment, order, or other part of the record, or correct an error in the record arising from oversight or omission.”).
For the foregoing reasons, we REMAND for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion. Garcia’s appeal is otherwise DISMISSED.
