ERNESTO RICO-ELIZONDO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:12-CR-696-1


Before CLEMENT, PRADO, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ernesto Rico-
Elizondo 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). Rico-Elizondo filed a letter, which was construed as
a motion for an extension of time to file a response. The court gave Rico-
Elizondo a deadline of April 23, 2014 to file his response to the Anders brief.


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 13-40741

No response was filed. We have reviewed counsel's brief and the relevant
portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Rico-Elizondo's letter. 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.
