                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:14-CR-50-4

Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Alberto Ortiz-
Vasquez 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). Ortiz-Vasquez has filed a response seeking the
appointment of new counsel.           We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the
relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Ortiz-Vasquez’s

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

                               No. 14-10873

response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no
nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, Ortiz-Vasquez’s request
for appointment of new counsel is DENIED, 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.
