MARIO VILLA-CUEVAS,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:11-CR-202-1


Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Mario Villa-Cuevas has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738
 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 
632 F.3d 229
 (5th Cir. 2011).
Villa-Cuevas has not filed a response. He has been released from prison and has
been removed from the United States. We have reviewed counsel’s briefs 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.

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
    Case: 11-20815     Document: 00512346662     Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/20/2013

                                  No. 11-20815

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).
