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

                                No. 16-40600

Chavez 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). Tapia-Chavez has not filed a response.

     We have reviewed counsel’s brief and relevant portions of the record. 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.
