                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                              No. 2:06-CR-20089-8




Before DAVIS, SMITH, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*


       Counsel appointed to represent Jose Bosques-Gutierrez has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief and supplemental brief in accordance

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 10-30224

with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Bosques-Gutierrez has not filed
a response.
      Counsel’s briefs fail to comply with United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229,
232-33 (5th Cir. 2011), in which we admonished that an Anders brief should ad-
dress every applicable item on this court’s Anders checklist, with reference to the
facts of the proceedings and citation to the record and relevant legal authority.
The briefs fail to address all relevant issues and contain only a cursory examin-
ation of the district court’s compliance with FED. R. CRIM. P. 11.
      Although Flores teaches that such facially inadequate briefs should not be
accepted, we grant the Anders motion in the interest of judicial economy, be-
cause it is apparent from the record that this appeal does not involve a nonfrivo-
lous issue. Counsel is directed that future Anders filings should comply with
Flores.
      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.
