UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
ELI VALDEZ,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 2:09-CR-591-1
Before WIENER, OWEN, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Eli Valdez 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). Valdez
has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s briefs 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.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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