       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

    Case: 18-11218    Document: 00514957915    Page: 2   Date Filed: 05/15/2019

                                No. 18-11218

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief per Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Phillips
has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant
portions of the record. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal
presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion
for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsi-
bilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
