                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                           for the Western District of Texas
                               USDC No. 7:22-CR-195-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Jones, Southwick, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          The attorney appointed to represent Josie Louisa Molina 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). Molina has filed a response and moved for the appointment of
   substitute counsel. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant

          _____________________

                                   No. 23-50233

   portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Molina’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. Molina’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).
