    No. 10-40916.
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    June 16, 2011.
    James Lee Turner, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Marjorie A. Meyers, Federal Public Defender, Laura Fletcher Leavitt, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Houston, TX,
    Before REAVLEY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Hector Ruiz 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 has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Ruiz’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Ruiz’s pro se response arguing that counsel was ineffective for not demonstrating the invalidity of a prior conviction does not present a nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, the 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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
