   appeal. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein. 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. Smith’s motion to dismiss his appeal is DENIED as
   moot.
