                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:12-CR-684-1


Before JOLLY, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rafael Villanueva-
Jimenez 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). Villanueva-Jimenez has filed a response. We have
reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein,
as well as Villanueva-Jimenez’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment
that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly,

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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