UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. RAYMOND BRUMFIELD, Defendant-Appellant
Conference Calendar Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana
USDC No. 3:17-CR-52-1 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges PER CURIAM:
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. --------
The attorney appointed to represent Raymond Brumfield has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed briefs in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Brumfield has filed responses and a motion for the appointment of counsel. We have reviewed counsel's briefs and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Brumfield's responses. 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. Brumfield's motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED. Cf. United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
