   Before Smith, Dennis, and Southwick, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*

          The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Gerardo Espin-
   oza Ruiz has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief per Anders v. California,
   386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011).
   Espinoza Ruiz has not filed a response.

          *
             Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circum-
   stances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                    No. 22-20140

          We have reviewed counsel’s brief and relevant portions of the record.
   We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no non-
   frivolous issue for appellate review.

          Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, coun-
   sel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is
   DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
