UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Gregory M. WARD, also known as Gregory Ward, Defendant-Appellant, 596 F. App'x 337

PER CURIAM: The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Gregory M. Ward 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). Ward has filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Ward’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no non-frivolous 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. Ward’s motion for the appointment of alternate counsel is DENIED. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
