No. 23-40648

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Robertson’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. Robertson’s motion to proceed pro se is DENIED as untimely. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902–03 (5th Cir. 1998).
