No. 23-20320

to counsel that we construe as a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Rios- Hernandez’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. 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.

As counsel asserts, however, there is a clerical error in the judgment.

The written judgment does not reflect the district court’s oral recommendation that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) evaluate Rios-Hernandez to determine if he should be sent to a BOP medical facility for treatment of his health condition. Accordingly, we REMAND for correction of the clerical error in the written judgment in accordance with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36. See United States v. Powell, 354 F.3d 362, 371-72 (5th Cir. 2003).
