United States v. Raul Cesario-Mendo
United States v. Raul Cesario-Mendo
Opinion
The attorney appointed to represent Raul Cesario-Mendo 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). Cesario-Mendo 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. 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. In light of the nonreversible error in describing the offense as a marijuana offense, the judgment of the district court is REFORMED to show that Cesar-io-Mendo was convicted and sentenced for possession of five kilograms or more of cocaine with intent to distribute. See, e.g., United States v. Mondragon-Santiago, 564 F.3d 357, 369 (5th Cir. 2009).
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47,5.4.
