                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:08-CR-229-3


Before KING, JOLLY, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Richard Puentes-Fuentes 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). Puentes-Fuentes has not filed a response. Our review of counsel’s
brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. We concur with
counsel’s conclusion that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate
review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

       *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
