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

                                No. 19-50720

moved to withdraw and has filed a brief per Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Stephen has
not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant por-
tions of the record. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal pre-
sents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion for
leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibil-
ities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
