The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rosendo AriasSamano 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). Arias-Samano has filed a response. The record is not

claim without prejudice to 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 Arias-Samano’s response. We concur with 

counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for 

appellate review. Accordingly, Arias-Samano’s motion for the appointment of 

new counsel is DENIED, 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. Arias-Samano’s motion for an extension of 

time is DENIED as moot.
