   Before Smith, Clement, and Southwick, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Counsel appointed to represent Aurelio Barajas-Pulido 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).

                                   No. 22-40467

   counsel. That request is DENIED as untimely. See United States v. Wagner,
   158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
         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 review. Accordingly,
   counsel's motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused
   from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
