                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:13-CR-192-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Juan Alejandro
Mendez-Zuniga 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). Mendez-Zuniga has not filed a response.
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein.     We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 13-40772   Document: 00512596599    Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/15/2014

                               No. 13-40772

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.
