                                No. 19-50406

Rodriguez has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief per Anders v. Califor-
nia, 

(1967), and United States v. Flores, 

(5th Cir.
2011). Cortez-Rodriguez has not filed a response.

     We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record.
We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous
issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is
DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
