with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632
F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Rios-Salazar has not filed a response. We have
reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected



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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave
