                                No. 18-40019

Cardenas has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief per Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th
Cir. 2011). Almanzar-Cardenas has not filed a response.

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