                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                             USDC No. 1:13-CR-666-1

Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Valente Alanis-
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). Alanis-Quintero has not filed a response. We have
reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
    Case: 14-40073    Document: 00513027678     Page: 2   Date Filed: 05/01/2015

                                 No. 14-40073

therein. 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.
