                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas

Before Jolly, Higginson, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Nohmaan Malik 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).

allow us to make a fair evaluation of his claims; we therefore decline to
consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States
v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
       We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein, as well as Malik’s response. We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for
appellate review.     Accordingly, the 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.
