UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Felipe PENA, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 15-40064
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    April 7, 2016.
    Renata Ann Gowie, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Roberto Balli, Attorney, Laredo, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    
      Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The attorney appointed to represent Felipe Pena has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.2011). Pena has filed responses. We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Pena’s responses. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cíe. R. 42.2. Pena’s pro se motion for the appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED. His motions to seal his pro se responses and attachments are GRANTED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
