                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the Western District of Texas

                      ______________________________

   Before King, Higginson, and Willett, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Edward Harold Williams 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). Williams has not filed a response. We have reviewed
   counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We

                                   No. 22-50130

   concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal is moot and that we lack
   jurisdiction. See Spencer v. Kemna, 523 U.S. 1, 7-8 (1998); United States v.
   Clark, 193 F.3d 845, 847-48 (5th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, counsel’s motion
   for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
   responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
