                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Middle District of Louisiana
                            USDC No. 3:18-CR-22-5

   Before Smith, Stewart, and Graves, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Brian Hernandez has moved for
   leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California,
   386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011).
   Hernandez has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                  No. 21-30299

   relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Hernandez’s
   response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no
   nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. 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. Hernandez’s pro se motion to dismiss the appeal is DENIED as
   moot.
