Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Rivelino de Jesus Yepez-Rosas has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir.2011). At the request of this court, the attorney has filed a letter advising of the efforts to inform Yepez-Rosas of his rights under Anders in a language he can understand. United States v. Moreno-Torres, 768 F.3d 439, 441 (5th Cir.2014). In the letter, Yepez-Rosas’s attorney states that he has communicated all relevant information to the defendant in Spanish. Yepez-Rosas has not filed a response. 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 review. Accordingly, 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* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
