Per Curiam:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Manuel Lopez-Castellanos 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). Lopez-Castellanos has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the Case: 23-40091 Document: 00516856066 Page: 2 Date Filed: 08/14/2023

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.
