                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 4:13-CR-268-3

Before JONES, SOUTHWICK, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Jorge Rodriguez-Penaloza 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).    Rodriguez-Penaloza has filed a response.              We have reviewed
counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well
as Rodriguez-Penaloza’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

                               No. 15-40251

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.
