Before JONES, SMITH, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for Sergio Chavez-Paredes (“Chavez”)
has filed a motion and brief as required by Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Chavez has not filed a response. Our
independent review of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no
nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, the 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.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
