*1 Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: [*]
Christopher Alan Breckenridge appeals the 130-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine. He argues that the district court *2 Case: 15-50542 Document: 00513640154 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/16/2016
No. 15-50542
abused its discretion by imposing written special conditions of supervised release that are more onerous than those pronounced orally at sentencing.
Breckenridge is correct in his contention that the district court abused its discretion when it broadened special conditions of supervised release. See United States v. Bigelow , 462 F.3d 378, 381-383 (5th Cir. 2006). The written judgment includes a search provision that was not orally pronounced at sentencing. The search provision is not one of the mandatory or standard conditions of supervised release required by statute or adopted by the Western District of Texas in its Standing Order. By including the search provision in the judgment, the district court impermissibly modified the special conditions, thereby creating a conflict between the oral pronouncement and the written judgment. See United States v. Vega , 332 F.3d 849, 852-53 (5th Cir. 2003). Consequently, we order a limited remand and instruct the district court to modify, in a manner consistent with this opinion, the special conditions in the written judgment in order to have them conform to the special conditions pronounced orally at sentencing.
CONVICTION AFFIRMED; SENTENCE VACATED IN PART; REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
