                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the Eastern District of Texas
                                USDC No. 1:21-CR-73-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Higginbotham, Stewart, and Southwick, Circuit
   Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Jose Guadalupe Flores-Romero
   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). Flores-Romero has filed a response. We have reviewed
   counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as
          _____________________
          *
              This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 23-40061    Document: 00516998487          Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/12/2023

                                  No. 23-40061

   well as Flores-Romero’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; Flores-
   Romero’s motion for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED;
   counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein; and the appeal is
   DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
