counsel. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein, as well as Klarer’s response, in which he seeks to
challenge his sentence. 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. The motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED as moot.
