                                                                   Plaintiff—Appellee,

                                          versus

Carlos Carrasquillo,

                                            Defendant—Appellant.
                   ______________________________

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 3:22-CR-210-1
                   ______________________________

Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Carlos Carrasquillo 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). Carrasquillo has not filed a response. We have reviewed
counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We

       _____________________

           This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5.
Case: 23-10708       Document: 62-1      Page: 2   Date Filed: 05/06/2024

                                No. 23-10708

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.
      We note that during the pendency of this appeal, the district court
granted Carrasquillo’s motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2). However, it lacked jurisdiction to do so. See United States v.
Willis, 76 F.4th 467, 472 (5th Cir. 2023). No notice of appeal or motion to
remand has been filed since the order granting the motion for a sentence
reduction was entered. Accordingly, we have considered only the appeal of
the judgment imposing the 327-month sentence.
