forgive the entire outstanding balance of $43,523 for the fraudulently obtained grants. Nor is there anything in the record to support Tanner’s bald assertion that, at the time of sentencing, “she had made substantial progress towards paying down the amount owed,” which, coincidentally, happened to be the exact amount of the outstanding balance for grants. To the contrary, it appears that the court merely misspoke when it referred to the outstanding loan balance of $63,221 as the entire outstanding balance for restitution.
The oral pronouncement was ambiguous. But the written judgment “clarified that ambiguity.” United States v. Milton, 805 F. App’x 280, 281 (5th Cir. 2020) (per curiam) (citing Schurmann v. United States, 658 F.2d 389, 391 (5th Cir. Unit A Oct. 1981)). The record makes certain that the written judgment reflects the district court’s intent. Accordingly, the written judgment of sentence is affirmed.
