Before REAVLEY, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Francisco Gonzalez-
Vaises 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).       Gonzalez-Vaises has not filed a response.                 We have
reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 15-41183    Document: 00513472536     Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/20/2016

                                 No. 15-41183

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.
