UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
SANDRA TEJADA,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 3:04-CR-736-1
Before SMITH, CLEMENT, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Sandra Tejada 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).
Tejada 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.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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