March 19, 1999

Before POLITZ, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Court-appointed counsel for James Louis Polk has moved to withdraw and filed a brief as

required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Polk has filed a response and moves for

substitution of counsel, permission to proceed pro se, and sanctions. Our independent review of

counsel’s brief, the record, and Polk’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Polk’s

motions are DENIED. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and Polk’s appeal is DISMISSED.

*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
