                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 5:10-CR-1474-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, CLEMENT, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Alfredo Tovar-
Zapatero (Tovar) 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). Tovar has filed a response. We have
reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein,
as well as Tovar’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the
appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.                    Accordingly,

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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