[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 05-15842 Non-Argument Calendar ________________________ FILED U.S. COURT OF APPEALS ELEVENTH CIRCUIT June 26, 2006 THOMAS K. KAHN CLERK D. C. Docket No. 05-00071-CR-ORL-28KRS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus ANTONIO LOVETTE, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida _________________________ (June 26, 2006) Before BLACK, CARNES and PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Charles L. Handlin, appointed counsel for Antonio Lovette in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel s motion to withdraw is GRANTED. At the sentencing hearing, the district court stated that Counts 3, 5, 8, and 11, of the indictment were dismissed, as per Lovette s plea agreement. This statement was in error as Count 11 did not pertain to Lovette, and under the plea agreement Counts 3, 5, 8, and 21 should have been dismissed at sentencing. The district court s written judgment correctly dismissed Counts 3, 5, 8, and 21. Accordingly, we affirm Lovette s conviction and sentence, but remand the case to the district court for the limited purpose of allowing that court to correct the inconsistency between the written judgment and the oral judgment. United States v. Khoury, 901 F.2d 975, 978-9 (11th Cir. 1990) (remanding for resentencing due to substantive error in oral judgment); United States v. Bates, 213 F.3d 1336, 1340 (11th Cir. 2000) (remanding for correction of clerical error in written judgment under Rule 36); see also United States v. Portillo, 363 F.3d 1161, 1166 (11th Cir. 2004) (defendant s presence not required for the court to correct a clerical error 2 that does not substantially change his sentence). AFFIRMED and REMANDED for correction 3
