                                No. 17-40029

      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, and determine that “counsel has diligently investigated the
possible grounds for appeal.” Anders, 386 U.S. at 742. We agree with counsel’s
assessment that Mayorga-Castillo can raise no nonfrivolous issue on appeal
challenging either his guilty plea or his sentence.      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.
