                             USDC No. 2:14-CR-522-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Carlos Enrique Samayoa-Pineda
again 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). Samayoa-Pineda has filed a response. We have reviewed

                                No. 15-50671

previously identified, it is dispositive that the Government has declined to
waive the untimeliness of the appeal. See United States v. Pesina-Rodriguez,
825 F.3d 787, 788 (5th Cir. 2016). Therefore, without prejudice to a future 28
U.S.C. § 2255 motion that Samayoa-Pineda may file, 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.
