Before HIGGINBOTHAM, CLEMENT, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Osmin J. Martinez 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).
Martinez has filed a response in which he asks this court to appoint substitute
counsel to represent him.

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

                                No. 10-20690

      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, Martinez’s request for substitute counsel is DENIED, and the APPEAL
IS DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
