No. 17-20719
for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs per Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Moreno-
Martinez has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the
relevant portions of the record. Based on that review and our own independent
assessment of the record, we concur with counsel’s conclusion that the appeal
presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion
for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsi-
bilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
