   accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States
   v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Serrato-Cortez 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
