         Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

   Case: 12-30144   Document: 00511934685     Page: 2   Date Filed: 07/26/2012

                                 No. 12-30144

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. Califor-
nia, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.
2011). Sam 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, the 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.
