Opinion

PER CURIAM:

*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Francisco Javier Mendoza-Gomez.has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.2011). Mendoza-Gomez has filed a response which asks for the appointment of new counsel. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Mendoza-Gomez’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, Mendoza-Gomez’s motion for appointment of new counsel is DENIED, counsel’s 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.

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
