Before DAVIS, OWEN, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th

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,

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
