                                   No. 21-40033

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