Case: 23-50355           Document: 60-1         Page: 2      Date Filed: 03/11/2024

                   USDC Nos. 7:22-CR-264-1, 7:22-CR-270-1
                  ______________________________

Before Smith, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
      The Federal Public Defender, who was appointed to represent Garrie
Lavert Samuels in these consolidated appeals, 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).
Samuels has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the
relevant portions of the records reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s
assessment that the appeals present 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 appeals are DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
