Before DENNIS, PRADO, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent David Rodriguez-Villareal 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).      Rodriguez-Villareal has not filed a response.                  We have
reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected



       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 15-41255

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, counsel is excused from further responsibilities
herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
