Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rigoberto Nieto-

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

    Case: 15-40259    Document: 00513213323     Page: 2   Date Filed: 09/30/2015

                                 No. 15-40259

Zapata 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). Nieto-Zapata has not filed a response. We have
reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record. We concur
with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
appellate review. Accordingly, the 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.
