v.

NYREE PETTAWAY,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:09-CR-549-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Nyree Pettaway 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).
Pettaway has filed motion to file an out-of-time direct appeal, which we construe
as a motion to file an out-of-time response and GRANT.                     Her motion for
appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED.

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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: 09-51133   Document: 00511661326    Page: 2   Date Filed: 11/09/2011

                                No. 09-51133

      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Pettaway’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.
