                                 No. 17-40493

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