Before Jones, Clement, and Haynes, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam:* The attorney appointed to represent Robert Lee Vasquez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). The attorney stated that a copy was sent to Vasquez of the motion

No. 19-40798

which clearly reflected that it was a motion to withdraw because of a lack of valid appellate issues. The clerk’s office notified Vasquez as well. Vasquez filed numerous requests for extensions of time. Despite a year of grants of additional time, Vasquez 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.
