IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-30509

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff–Appellee,

v.

KIRK JENKINS, also known as Pimp Jenkins,

Defendant–Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Louisiana

USDC No. 2:13-CR-74-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Kirk Jenkins 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). 

Jenkins has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the 

relevant portions of the record reflected therein. Though counsel does not 

specifically address the validity of the appeal waiver in Jenkins’s plea 

 

* 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.

agreement, there is no indication in the record that Jenkins’s ratification of the 

plea agreement was anything but knowing and voluntary. As such, 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 in part as frivolous, see 5TH CIR. R. 42.2, and in part 

as moot based on Jenkins’s completion of his term of imprisonment, see United 

States v. Heredia-Holguin, 823 F.3d 337, 340-42 (5th Cir. 2016).
