                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Northern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 3:18-CR-459-1

   Before Higginbotham, Higginson, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Kayode
   Gbologade Oyedepo 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). Oyedepo has filed a response. We

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                   No. 21-10153

   have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
   reflected therein, as well as Oyedepo’s response. It is dispositive that the
   Government has declined to waive the untimeliness of the appeal. See United
   States v. Pesina-Rodriguez, 825 F.3d 787, 788 (5th Cir. 2016). Accordingly,
   without prejudice to a future 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion that Oyedepo may file,
   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.
