   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Edward Wayne
   Rothlander 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). Rothlander has filed a response. We

                                 No. 20-20222

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