PER CURIAM.
Silvestre Hernandez-Gainzar appeals his guilty-plea conviction and sentence for violating 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(2) by attempting to enter the United States without permission following his conviction for an aggravated felony and subsequent deportation. For the first time on appeal, Hernandez argues that § 1326(b) is unconstitutional because it treats a prior conviction for a felony or aggravated felony as a sentencing factor and not as an element of the offense. However, he acknowledges that this argument is contrary to Almendarez-Torres v. United States, in which the Supreme Court held that enhanced penalties under § 1326(b) are sentencing provisions, not elements of a separate offense. As we have noted, Apprendi v. New Jersey did not overrule the Court’s holding in Almendarez-Torres, and we must follow Almendarez-Torres “unless and until the Supreme Court determines to overrule it.” Hernandez’s conviction and sentence are therefore AFFIRMED.
Hernandez also asserts that we should remand his case to the district court for correction of a clerical error in the judgment. The Government concedes that remand is appropriate pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 36 for the limited purpose of correcting the judgment to reflect that the offense of conviction was attempted illegal reentry rather than being “found in” the United States illegally.
AFFIRMED; REMANDED FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE OF CORRECTING CLERICAL ERROR IN JUDGMENT.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
