Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Jose Antonio Velasquez-Suarez
(Velasquez) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance
with Anders v. California, 

 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 

 (5th Cir. 2011). Velasquez has filed a response. We have reviewed
counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

                               No. 12-51245

as Velasquez’s response. 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. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
