Zapata 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). Nieto-Zapata has not filed a response. We have 

reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record. 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.
