v.

SHAWN SCOTT, also known as “Shizzle”,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Eastern District of Louisiana
                             USDC No. 2:13-CR-227-3

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Shawn Scott 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). Scott
has filed a response. He requests substitution of new counsel for his appointed
attorney. That motion is DENIED as untimely. See United States v. Wagner,
158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 16-30304    Document: 00513798737    Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/15/2016

                                No. 16-30304

      We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Scott’s response.    We concur with counsel’s
assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review.
Accordingly, the 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.
