Per Curiam: *

The attorney appointed to represent Tramarcus Morgan 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). Morgan has filed a response in which he moves for leave to proceed pro se on appeal. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant Case: 24-20054 Document: 59-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/12/2025

No. 24-20054 portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Morgan’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. The motion to proceed pro se on appeal is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
