USDC No. 3:12-CR-297-2
Before KING, JOLLY, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Uriel Valencia-
Torres 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

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739
F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 123 (2014).
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Valencia-Torres’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.
