Counsel appointed to represent Aurelio Barajas-Pulido 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). Barajas-Pulido has filed a response requesting the appointment of substitute Case: 22-40467 Document: 00516772482 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/02/2023

No. 22-40467 counsel. That request is DENIED as untimely. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

Accordingly, counsel's motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
