Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC Nos. 7:22-CR-649-1, 7:22-CR-16-1 ______________________________

Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ricardo Vazquez-Lopez 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). Vazquez-Lopez has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Vazquez-Lopez’s response. 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.
