UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Arturo GONZALEZ-PEREZ, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 16-41189 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed December 1, 2017
    Carmen Castillo Mitchell, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Arturo Gonzalez-Perez, Pro Se
    
      Before DAVIS, CLEMENT, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The attorney appointed to represent Arturo Gonzalez-Perez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief and a supplemental brief 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). Gonzalez-Perez has filed a response. The motion for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED as untimely. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Gonzalez-Perez’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivo-lous 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 Cir. R. 42.2. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
