   United States of America,

                                                             Plaintiff—Appellee,

   Brandon Hernandez-Escorcia,

                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                       for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 1:20-CR-238-1
                            USDC No. 1:20-CR-30-1

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this

Case: 21-40839      Document: 00516395258         Page: 2    Date Filed: 07/15/2022

                                    No. 21-40839
                                  c/w No. 21-40844

   accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States
   v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Hernandez-Escorcia has not 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 of Hernandez-Escorcia’s illegal reentry conviction and sentence
   presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Hernandez-Escorcia’s
   appeal of his revocation case is moot based on his completion of that
   sentence. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7, 14 (1998). Accordingly,
   counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused
   from   further   responsibilities   herein,   and   the   APPEALS      ARE
   DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2; Spencer, 523 U.S. at 7, 14.
