______________________________
Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ricardo
Vazquez-Lopez 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). Vazquez-Lopez has filed a response.
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Vazquez-Lopez’s response. 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.
