                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                            USDC No. 2:12-CR-1389-1

Before WIENER, OWEN, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Ivan Daniel Rivas 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).
Rivas has filed a response. 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.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                No. 13-50390

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. Rivas’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
