Defendant-Appellant

Appeals from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:13-CR-1147

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Miguel E. Reyna 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).

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 Reyna’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. Reyna’s motion for the appointment of new counsel is 

DENIED as untimely. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th 

Cir. 1998).
