Aguilar 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). Aguilar-Aguilar has filed a response. 

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

reflected therein, and Aguilar-Aguilar’s response. We concur with counsel’s 

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

In his response, Aguilar-Aguilar challenges, inter alia, the drug-trafficking 

enhancement; he maintains that his New Mexico conviction of possession with 

intent to deliver does not qualify as a drug-trafficking offense under U.S.S.G. 

§ 2L1.2 because it does not require remuneration. That contention is foreclosed, see United States v. Martinez-Lugo, 782 F.3d 198, 205 (5th Cir.), cert. 

denied, 136 S. Ct. 533 (2015), but by raising the issue, Aguilar-Aguilar has 

preserved it for further review.

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.
