                            USDC No. 4:20-CR-601-1

   Before Higginbotham, Higginson, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Juan Miguel Rayas Vivia on
   appeal 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). Rayas Vivia has not filed a response. We have

            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited

                                    No. 21-20268

   reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected
   therein. In light of our recent opinion in United States v. Martinez, 15 F.4th
   1179, 1180-81 (5th Cir. 2021) 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.
