    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Ruben GONZALES, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 16-41709 Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Filed March 14, 2018
    
      Carmen Castillo Mitchell, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee
    Eden Flores, Sr., Pro Se
    Before JOLLY, OWEN, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The attorney appointed to represent Ruben Gonzales 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). Gonzales has filed a response. Gonzales’s request for appointment of new counsel is denied as untimely. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Gonzales’s response. 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 Cíe. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
