                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:15-CR-137-1


Before DAVIS, SOUTHWICK, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney retained to represent Juan Alberto Quelis has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738
(1967), and United States v. Flores, 
632 F.3d 229
(5th Cir. 2011).
Quelis has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant
portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Quelis’s response. We concur
with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

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. Counsel’s motion to withdraw
based on a purported conflict and appoint new counsel or allow the defendant
to represent his own interest is DENIED as moot.
