                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:10-CR-159-1


Before SMITH, PRADO, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Thurman J. Kitchen
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). Kitchen has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief
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. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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