therein, as well as Aguilera Duran’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. Aguilera Duran’s request for appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED as untimely because it was filed after counsel filed an Anders brief. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
