UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Timothy Chase MCWILLIAMS, Defendant-Appellant
The attorney appointed to represent Timothy Chase McWilliams has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). McWilliams has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.
There is a clerical error in the judgment. The written judgment states that McWilliams was convicted of possession of 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine. McWilliams pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine. The written judgment should be corrected to accurately reflect the offense of conviction.
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 correction of the clerical error pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.
FOOTNOTES
