                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:16-CR-313-1

Before SMITH, CLEMENT, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Carlos Torres-Palos
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). Torres-Palos has filed a response. We have reviewed
counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 16-41059   Document: 00514039715   Page: 2   Date Filed: 06/20/2017

                              No. 16-41059

as Torres-Palos’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.
