PER CURIAM:
Keyonta Tarezze Langley pled guilty, without the benefit of a plea agreement, to
possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1),
924(a)(2). The district court sentenced Langley to 90 months’ imprisonment. On appeal,
Langley’s counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
stating that there are no meritorious grounds for appeal, but questioning the reasonableness
of Langley’s sentence. Although informed of his right to do so, Langley has not filed a pro
se supplemental brief. The Government declined to file a brief. We affirm Langley’s
conviction, vacate his sentence, and remand for resentencing.
At the sentencing hearing, the district court did not announce two discretionary
conditions of supervised release that it ultimately included in the written judgment. These
discretionary conditions require that Langley “shall not incur new credit charges or open
additional lines of credit without approval of the probation office” and that he “shall
provide the probation office with access to any requested financial information.”1
While a district court need not orally pronounce all mandatory conditions, “all non-
mandatory conditions of supervised release must be announced at a defendant’s sentencing
hearing.” United States v. Rogers, 961 F.3d 291, 296 (4th Cir. 2020). Where, as here, the
district court fails to announce nonmandatory conditions of supervised release that are later
included in the written judgment, the remedy is to vacate the sentence and remand for a
1 In June 2020, the Eastern District of North Carolina adopted a standing order
specifying standard conditions of supervised release that included these two conditions,
but this order was not in effect at the time of Langley’s February 20, 2019, sentencing.

full resentencing hearing. See United States v. Singletary, 984 F.3d 341, 346 n.4 (4th Cir.
2021).
In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the entire record in this case and have
found no other meritorious grounds for appeal.2 We therefore affirm Langley’s conviction,
vacate his sentence, and remand for resentencing. This court requires that counsel inform
Langley, in writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the United States for
further review. If Langley requests that a petition be filed, but counsel believes that such
a petition would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for leave to withdraw
from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on
Langley. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED IN PART,
VACATED IN PART,
AND REMANDED
2 Because the sentence was not properly imposed, we do not address any other
potential issues related to Langley’s sentence at this juncture. See Singletary, 984 F.3d at
346-47 (declining to consider additional challenges to original sentence).
