and abetting the importation of 100 kilograms or more but less than 1,000
kilograms of marihuana into the United States. She claims that her sentence
should be vacated in part and remanded to allow the district court to conform
the written judgment to its oral pronouncement relative to two special condi-
tions of supervised release.
      More specifically, as to the travel restriction, Upton contends that (1) the
prohibition against “resid[ing]” within the enumerated judicial divisions
should be deleted, and (2) language should be added to provide that she may
seek permission from the probation officer to travel within the divisions. As
for the restriction on contact with others, Upton contends that the written con-
dition should be modified to reflect that it applies only to Jody Benningfield
and Natalie Benningfield, not all of Upton’s codefendants. In its unopposed
motion to modify the written judgment, the government agrees that the writ-
ten judgment should be amended to conform to the oral pronouncement.
      The record supports the parties’ assertion that there is a conflict between
the oral pronouncement of sentence and the written judgment as outlined
above; thus, the oral pronouncement controls. United States v. Mireles, 471
F.3d 551, 557−58 (5th Cir. 2006); United States v. Martinez, 250 F.3d 941, 942
(5th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, this matter is REMANDED for the district court
to amend its written judgment to conform to its oral pronouncement of sen-
tence. See Mireles, 471 F.3d at 558; Martinez, 250 F.3d at 942.
      The Government’s unopposed motion to modify the written judgment is
GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.             To the extent the government
requests that the judgment be affirmed, the motion is granted. To the extent
the government requests this court to modify the sentence without a remand,
the motion is denied. The government’s alternative motion for an extension of
time to file its brief is DENIED as moot.
