Before HIGGINBOTHAM, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Rogelio Montoya has moved for leave

U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011).
Montoya has been released from custody and removed from the United States.
He has not filed a response to counsel’s motion. We have reviewed counsel’s
brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
