No. 16-50988
concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous
issue for appellate review.
Nevertheless, counsel asserts that there is a clerical error in the written
judgment because it does not include “Aiding and Abetting” in the description
of the nature of the offense, nor does it include “18 U.S.C. § 2” as a violated
statutory provision. Even without the inclusion of “Aiding and Abetting,” the
judgment correctly describes the nature of the offense, and thus this omission
need not be corrected. See United States v. Rabhan, 540 F.3d 344, 348 (5th
Cir. 2008). However, it will not prejudice the Government if the district court
corrects the judgment on remand to include “18 U.S.C. § 2” in the list of violated
provisions. 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. The case is REMANDED to the district
court for the limited purpose of correcting the judgment to add “18 U.S.C. § 2”
to the list of violated statutory provisions. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 36.
