No. 18-50090 c/w No. 18-50091 We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. The Anders brief pretermits discussion of Valenzuela- Bustillos’s guilty plea and revocation of supervised release pursuant to United States v. Garcia, 483 F.3d 289, 291 (5th Cir. 2007), on the ground that Valenzuela-Bustillos indicated in writing that he wished to appeal only his sentences. A copy of the purported Garcia waiver is attached to the brief, but the document does not make clear whether Valenzuela-Bustillos intended to forgo a challenge to his guilty plea, his revocation, or both. Nevertheless, Valenzuela-Bustillos has not disputed counsel’s characterization of the document as applying to both. In addition, the record includes the transcripts we needed to review the record independently, and our review has not uncovered any nonfrivolous basis for challenging the guilty plea or the revocation. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.

Thus, we concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeals present 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 APPEALS ARE DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
