Before KING, ELROD, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Osmarlin Varela
Oviedo 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). Defendant Varela Oviedo has not filed a response. We
have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected




       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 18-20041

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.
