Before SMITH, CLEMENT, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Nelson Nehemias
Mendez-De Paz has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in
accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States
v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Mendez-De Paz has not filed a response.
We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein.     We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

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.
