v.
JUAN CARLOS SOTO, also known as Juan Soto-Gutierrez, also known as
Carlitos,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:10-CR-70-9
Before SMITH, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Juan Carlos Soto 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). Soto
has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant
portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment
that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly,
counsel’s 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.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
