The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Juan

counsel and a brief in support in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Flores received a copy of
counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a response. Our
independent review of the record and counsel’s brief reveals no
nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion
