considered. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the
record reflected therein, as well as Esparza Alvarez’s response. We concur with
counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate
review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, Esparza Alvarez’s motion
to supplement his response is GRANTED, his motions for appointment of
counsel and for judicial notice are DENIED, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
