   Before Higginbotham, Jones, and Willett, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Raymond
   Mandell Howard 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). Howard 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
   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.
