   United States of America,

                                                              Plaintiff—Appellee,

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:19-CR-6-1

   Before King, Southwick, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Raymond Cahoon 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).
   Cahoon has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the

          *
            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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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. 20-10300

   relevant portions of the record reflected therein. 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). Therefore,
   without prejudice to a future 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion that Cahoon 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.
