                  Appeal from the United States District Court

                            USDC No. 4:20-CR-11-1

   Before Davis, Elrod, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Christopher Paul Quintana 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). Quintana has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                  No. 20-10567

   brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as
   Quintana’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. Quintana’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).
