Case: 17-10412 Document: 00514474614 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/16/2018 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 17-10412 Summary Calendar United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED May 16, 2018 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff−Appellee, versus ADALBERTO PRIETO-GARCIA, Defendant−Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas No. 3:16-CR-372-2 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: * The attorney appointed to represent Adalberto Prieto-Garcia has moved 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. * Case: 17-10412 Document: 00514474614 Page: 2 Date Filed: 05/16/2018 No. 17-10412 for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Prieto-Garcia has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record. We question whether counsel’s certification that the government will enforce the appellate waiver is sufficiently specific to the waiver in this case. See United States v. Davis, 530 F.3d 318, 320 (5th Cir. 2008). But we need not reach that issue, because it is not jurisdictional and because counsel examines all potential appellate claims, even those covered by the waiver, in the brief. See United States v. Story, 439 F.3d 226, 230−31 (5th Cir. 2006). We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. 2
