                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:14-CR-316

Before KING, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The    Federal     Public    Defender     appointed       to    represent       Manuel
Soto-Contreras 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). Soto-Contreras has not filed a response.
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 14-51319

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.
