PER CURIAM:
George Matos Rocha appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion under Fed. R. Crim. P. 36. “Rule 36 authorizes
a court to correct only clerical errors in the transcription of
judgments.” United States v. Werber, 51 F.3d 342, 343 (2d Cir.
1995). Because the district court correctly determined that there
was no such clerical error in the transcription of the judgment in
this case, the court properly denied Rocha’s motion. Finding no
error, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
United States v. Rocha, No. 1:99-cr-00326-JAB (M.D.N.C. May 19,
2006). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
