v.
JORGE ANTONIO BENITEZ-GARCIA,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:14-CR-819-1
Before JOLLY, GRAVES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jorge Antonio
Benitez-Garcia (Benitez) 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). Benitez has not filed a response. We
have reviewed counsel’s brief 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. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
