                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 7:15-CR-1464-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Miguel Angel
Deras-Cardoza 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). Deras-Cardoza has filed a response.
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
    Case: 16-40195    Document: 00513745122    Page: 2   Date Filed: 11/03/2016

                                No. 16-40195

reflected therein, as well as Deras-Cardoza’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.
