Anders brief, which we GRANT. Tabarez-Rodriguez has filed a response, which
includes a request that new counsel be appointed.

portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Tabarez-Rodriguez’s
response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no
nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s 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. Tabarez-
Rodriguez’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
