Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Wilmer Martinez-

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

    Case: 14-41454    Document: 00513213273     Page: 2   Date Filed: 09/30/2015

                                 No. 14-41454

Melendez 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-Melendez has filed a response. We have
reviewed counsel’s brief, relevant portions of the record reflected therein, and
Martinez-Melendez’s response.

      We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no non-
frivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion for leave to with-
draw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,
and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Martinez-Melendez’s
motions for a stay and for the appointment of new counsel are DENIED.
