PER CURIAM: *
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Raul Cruz-Perez

No. 15-41391
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). Cruz-Perez has not filed a response.
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein. Our independent review confirms that the guilty plea was
knowing and voluntary. We therefore 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.
