v.

MICHAEL IRBY,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Louisiana

USDC No. 2:13-CR-111-1

Before DAVIS, ELROD, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Michael Irby 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

* 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

collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. 

denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014).

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

reflected therein, as well as Irby’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. Irby’s request to proceed pro se is DENIED as untimely. See 

United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
