UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
WILBERT WEST,
Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
USDC No. 3:11-CR-99-1

Before KING, CLEMENT, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Wilbert West has moved for leave to
withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). West has
filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s briefs and the relevant portions of
the record reflected therein, as well as West’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,
*

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
