    Case: 12-11122    Document: 00512527981     Page: 2   Date Filed: 02/10/2014

                                 No. 12-11122

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).
Philip has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant
portions of the record reflected therein as well as Philip’s response. 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 responsibilities herein, and the appeal is
DISMISSED.      See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.      Philip’s motion for appointment of
substitute counsel is DENIED.
