No. 23-10900

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.

Notwithstanding our agreement with counsel, we note that a judge of this court previously ordered counsel to cure the inadequacies in his initial Anders brief by, inter alia, discussing the validity of the appeal waiver, including whether any exception to the waiver provision applies. The conclusory and inadequate discussion of that issue in counsel’s supplemental brief fails to comply with this court’s order or with his obligations under United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229, 232-33 (5th Cir. 2011). Counsel is accordingly WARNED that the failure to comply with this court’s orders in the future will invite the imposition of sanctions, including denial of payment for services rendered and removal from the case.
