                                  No. 20-10105

   motion to withdraw and Anders brief. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and
   the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with
   counsel’s assessment that the appeal 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. Herrera’s motion
   for appointment of new counsel is DENIED.
