Before HIGGINBOTHAM, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Gary Lynn Ward
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with
Anders v. California, 

(1967), and United States v. Flores,

appellate review. However, in light of the nonreversible error in categorizing
the conviction under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(E)(ii), the judgment of the district
court is REFORMED to show that Ward was convicted and sentenced under
21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(E)(i). See United States v. Mondragon-Santiago, 

, 369 (5th Cir. 2009). Counsel’s 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.
