                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 1:20-CR-74-1

   Before Higginbotham, Higginson, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Jonathan Elton Leal 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). Leal has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                   No. 21-11074

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