Before DAVIS, OWEN, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rene Alexander
Gomez 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). Gomez has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s
brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Gomez’s
response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no
nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave

       *

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
