Plaintiff—Appellee, versus

Brandon Jermaine Francisco,

Defendant—Appellant. ______________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 2:24-CR-249-1

______________________________

Before Willett, Duncan, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam: *

The attorney appointed to represent Brandon Jermaine Francisco has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Francisco has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record. Regardless of whether Case: 26-30052 Document: 45-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/07/2026

No. 26-30052

Francisco’s appeal waiver is applied, there is no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.

The amended judgment contains two clerical errors, however. First, it indicates that counts were dismissed on the motion of the Government but does not identify those counts. Second, Francisco pleaded guilty to Count 1 of the superseding indictment, but the amended judgment indicates that he pleaded guilty to Count 1 of the “indictment.”

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. The case is REMANDED to the district court for the limited purpose of correcting the clerical errors in the amended judgment. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36.
