    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Ruben RUIZ-GAONA, Defendant-Appellant
    No. 17-40696 Conference Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed February 20, 2018
    Carmen Castillo Mitchell, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Ruben Ruiz-Gaona, Pro Se
    Before REAVLEY, CLEMENT, and HO, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ruben Ruiz-Gaona has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Ruiz-Gaona 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 to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir, R. 47.5.4.
