Opinion

The attorney appointed to represent Joe Mike Nichols has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Nichols has filed a response. We have reviewed counsels brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Nicholss response. We concur with counsels assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsels 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. To the extent that Nichols requests dismissal of his case, his motion is DENIED as moot.
