   Before King, Costa, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Tamala Evette

   Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d
   229 (5th Cir. 2011). Jones has filed responses. We have reviewed counsel’s

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this

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