                           USDC No. 7:20-CR-1687-1

   Before Jones, Clement, and Haynes, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Hernan Garcia-
   Hernandez 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). Garcia-Hernandez has filed a

                                   No. 21-40128

   response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
   record reflected therein, as well as Garcia-Hernandez’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. Garcia-Hernandez’s
   pro se motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED as untimely. See
   United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
