United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. William Edward FRANCO, Defendant-Appellant

No. 18-10271

Decided: December 21, 2018

Before DAVIS, JONES, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

James Wesley Hendrix, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney's Office, Dallas, TX, of Plaintiff-Appellee. Jerry Van Beard, Esq., Assistant Federal Public Defender, Federal Public Defender's Office, Fort Worth, TX, for Defendant-Appellant. William Edward Franco, El Reno, OK, pro se.

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent William Edward Franco 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). Franco 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.
