USDC No. 2:18-CR-1282-1
Before Jones, Clement, and Haynes, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
The attorney appointed to represent Robert Lee Vasquez 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). The attorney stated that a copy was sent to Vasquez of the motion

circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

which clearly reflected that it was a motion to withdraw because of a lack of
valid appellate issues. The clerk’s office notified Vasquez as well. Vasquez
filed numerous requests for extensions of time. Despite a year of grants of
additional time, Vasquez 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, counsel is excused from further responsibilities
herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
