for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. Califor-
nia, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.

relevant portions of the record reflected therein. 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.
