Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014). This denial is without prejudice to collateral review: Diosdado Aranda may raise any claims of ineffective assistance of counsel in a motion under 18 U.S.C. § 2255. See id. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Diosdado Aranda’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. However, we note that, if the imposition of forfeiture was a clerical error as counsel suggests, Diosdado Aranda may move the district court to correct the judgment. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 36. Accordingly, the 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. 2
