                           Appeal from the United States District Court
                                  for the Northern District of Texas
                                     USDC No. 3:00-CR-71-1-R

Before JOLLY, WIENER and STEWART, Circuit Judges:

PER CURIAM:*

       Geoffrey Nalima, federal prisoner # 51415-019, appeals the district court’s denial of his motion

to correct his sentence pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 35 and 36. He contends that the district court

erred in that restitution cannot be ordered for losses occurring before the period alleged in the

indictment, that restitution cannot be ordered for victims not named in the indictment, and that

restitution cannot be based on relevant conduct.



        *
           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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
        None of the conditions for granting relief under Rule 35 are present. See United States v.

Early, 27 F.3d 140-42 (5th Cir. 1994). Because the district court was without jurisdiction to grant

relief, the court’s denial was not a gross abuse of discretion. See United States v. Sinclair, 1 F.3d 329

(5th Cir. 1993).

        Similarly, Nalima’s reliance on FED. R. CRIM. P. 36 is misplaced. The district court did not

err in denying the motion as Nalima does not seek to correct a clerical mistake in the judgment of

conviction but instead seeks substantive relief unavailable under Rule 36. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 36;

United States v. Massey, 827 F.2d 995, 1005 n.1 (5th Cir. 1987). The district court’s denial of

Nalima’s motion pursuant to FED. R. CRIM. P. 35 and 36 is AFFIRMED.
