                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:08-CR-61-1


Before KING, ELROD, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM: *
       The attorney appointed to represent Clay Buck Atkinson 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).
Atkinson has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the
relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Atkinson’s response.



       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 18-10169

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.
