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 

229 (5th Cir. 2011). Cruz-Perez has not filed a response. 

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

reflected therein. Our independent review confirms that the guilty plea was 

knowing and voluntary. We therefore 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.
