UNITED STATES v. VILLEGAS HERNANDEZ (2018)

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Julian Villegas-Hernandez moved for leave to withdraw and 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). We construe Villegas-Hernandez’s untimely response as a motion for leave to file an out-of-time response, which is GRANTED.

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, along with Villegas-Hernandez’s response and the voluntariness of his guilty plea. Because the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review, 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.
