The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Abraham MaciasOchoa has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with

claims 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 Macias-Ochoa’s responses. 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.
