standard of review applies. See United States v. Sanchez, 900 F.3d 678, 682 (5th Cir. 2018). Based on our review of the record, we conclude that the error in the statement of reasons form listing the incorrect policy statement range is harmless and clerical in nature in light of the transcript of the revocation hearing, which establishes, inter alia, that the district court adopted the correct range as advanced by the parties and thoroughly explained its reasons for imposing the 18-month sentence. See United States v. Shakbazyan, 841 F.3d 286, 292 (5th Cir. 2016); see also United States v. Maturino, 887 F.3d 716, 725 n.44 (5th Cir. 2018). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
