Cir. 2011). Thomas has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and
the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Thomas’s
response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no
nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave
