the United States. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions
of the record reflected therein. We 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 in part as
frivolous, see 5TH CIR. R. 42.2, and in part as moot. See United States v.
Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 382-83 (5th Cir. 2007).
