                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC Nos. 7:22-CR-649-1, 7:22-CR-16-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
         The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ricardo
   Vazquez-Lopez 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). Vazquez-Lopez has filed a response.
   We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
   reflected therein, as well as Vazquez-Lopez’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.
