    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Raul CRUZ-PEREZ, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 15-41391
    Summary Calendar
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Date Filed: 06/14/2016
    Renata Ann Gowie, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Houston, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Raul Cruz-Perez, Pro Se.
    Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Raul Cruz-Perez 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). Cruz-Perez has not filed a response.

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. Our independent review confirms that the guilty plea was knowing and voluntary. We therefore concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal pres-énts no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. 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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
