                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Northern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 4:19-CR-309-1

   Before Graves, Willett, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Gamaliel Sanchez Lopez 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). Lopez has filed a response as well as a motion to substitute

          *
            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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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. 20-10926

   counsel. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Lopez’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. Lopez’s request in his
   response to substitute counsel is DENIED as untimely. See United States v.
   Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
