                                  No. 21-40581

   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.
