consider the claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Ronquillo Vargas’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the 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. Ronquillo Vargas’s motion to relieve counsel and appoint new counsel is DENIED, and his motion for an expedited ruling and motion to strike the supplemental brief and, in the alternative, for an extension of time to file a brief are DENIED.
