ISMAEL MELGOZA-ARREDONDO, also known as Mario M. Saenz,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:13-CR-22-1
Before KING, HAYNES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The attorney appointed to represent Ismael Melgoza-Arredondo 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 (5th
Cir. 2011). Melgoza-Arredondo has filed a response.
We have reviewed
counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well
as Melgoza-Arredondo’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

No. 13-20339
the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review because the
defendant validly agreed to waive appeal. 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.
