Cornelious has filed a response, as well as a motion to substitute counsel. We
have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected
therein, as well as Cornelious’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                 No. 17-20020

Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is
excused from further responsibilities herein, and Cornelious’s motion to
substitute is DENIED AS UNNECESSARY. The APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
