   Before Jolly, Willett, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          The attorney appointed to represent Joel Rueben Lambright, Jr., 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

            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this

   brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as
   Lambright’s response. 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.
