Before JONES, OWEN, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Benito Iraheta-
Alvarez 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). Iraheta-Alvarez has filed a response. We have reviewed
counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well
as Iraheta-Alvarez’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the
appeals present 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 APPEALS ARE DISMISSED. See 5TH
CIR. R. 42.2.




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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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