                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Northern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 4:18-CR-231-2

   Before Higginbotham, Higginson, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Desmond J. Wells on appeal has
   filed a motion to withdraw and a brief that relies on Anders v. California, 386
   U.S. 738 (1967). Wells has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s
   briefs and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                   No. 20-11078

   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.
