Garcia 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). Castaneda-Garcia has filed a response. 

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

Castaneda-Garcia’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. 

Castaneda-Garcia’s motion for the appointment of substitute counsel is 

DENIED.
