Before PRADO, OWEN, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

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). Reyes-Escobar has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

                                  No. 14-20130

brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Reyes-
Escobar’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.
Reyes-Escobar’s motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED.              See
United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
