Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 5:15-CR-821-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jesus Corona-Rojas
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

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

claims without prejudice to collateral review. See United States v. Isgar, 739
F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record
reflected therein, as well as Corona-Rojas’s response. We 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.
