                      Appeal from the United States District Court

                      ______________________________

   Before Smith, Southwick, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Luis
   Arguelles-Quintero 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). Arguelles-Quintero has filed a letter
   in response requesting the appointment of new counsel. We have reviewed

Case: 22-50386     Document: 00516678971          Page: 2   Date Filed: 03/16/2023

                                   No. 22-50386

   counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as
   well as Arguelles-Quintero’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. Arguelles-Quintero’s
   motion for the appointment of new counsel is DENIED as untimely. See
   United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
