    Lyle W. Cayce
    Clerk
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff - Appellee
    v.
    ADAN VEGA-SALAZAR,
    Defendant - Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 7:16-CR-1037-1
    Before BARKSDALE, PRADO, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM: *
    Adan Vega-Salazar pleaded guilty to one count of importing 500 grams
    or more of cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 952(a), 960(a)(1), 960(b)(2); and
    18 U.S.C. § 2. His written judgment, however, describes the nature of his
    offense as “[i]mporting 500 kilograms or more” of cocaine. (Emphasis added.)
    * Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir.
    R. 47.5.4.
    Case: 16-41670    Document: 00514108838    Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/09/2017
    No. 16-41670
    For his sole issue on appeal, Vega-Salazar requests his judgment be
    corrected.   As the Government concedes, the judgment contains a non-
    harmless clerical error.
    Accordingly, we affirm and remand to the district court for correction of
    the clerical error. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 36; United States v. Powell, 
    354 F.3d 362
    , 371–72 (5th Cir. 2003); United States v. Sapp, 
    439 F.2d 817
    , 821 (5th Cir.
    1971).
    AFFIRMED and REMANDED with instruction.
