Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 2:15-CR-314

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Jhony Barrios-Andrade (Barrios)

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with 

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d

* 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

prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 

(5th Cir. 2014).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record 

reflected therein, as well as Barrios’s response. We concur with counsel’s 

assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. 

Accordingly, the 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. Barrios’s motion for the appointment of new counsel is 

DENIED.
