ARTURO GONZALEZ-PEREZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:16-CR-84-1

Before DAVIS, CLEMENT, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Arturo Gonzalez-Perez has moved
for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief and a supplemental brief in
accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States
v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Gonzalez-Perez has filed a response.
The motion for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED as untimely. See
United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 16-41189    Document: 00514256554    Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/01/2017

                                No. 16-41189

     We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Gonzalez-Perez’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.
