                                     No. 17-51009
                                   c/w No. 17-51010
Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Antonio
Vidales-Vazquez 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). Vidales-Vazquez has filed a response.
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the records
reflected therein, as well as Vidales-Vazquez’s response.                 We concur in
counsel’s assessment that the appeals present 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
APPEALS ARE DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Vidales-Vazquez’s motion
for new counsel is DENIED.




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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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