Before WIENER, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Pedro Gonzalez-Francisco has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief and a supplemental brief in
accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States
v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011).             Gonzalez-Francisco has filed a
response. We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein, as well as Gonzalez-Francisco’s response. We concur

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

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. Gonzalez-Francisco’s motion
for the appointment of new counsel is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner,
158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
