Before KING, CLEMENT, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Samuel Palemon-Vargas has moved

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th
Cir. 2011). Palemon has not filed a response. He has been released from prison
and has been removed from the United States. We have reviewed counsel’s brief
and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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

DISMISSED in part as frivolous, see 5TH CIR. R. 42.2, and in part as moot. See
United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 382-83 (5th Cir. 2007).
