June 16, 1999
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for William J. Ogle has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Ogle has filed a response to
his counsel’s motion arguing, inter alia, that counsel rendered
ineffective assistance. The record has not been adequately
developed for us to consider this argument on direct appeal. See
United States v. Haese, 162 F.3d 359, 363-64 (5th Cir 1998),
cert. denied, ___ S. Ct. ___, 1999 WL 241837 (U.S., May 24,
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 98-30922

1999). Our independent review of the brief and the record
discloses no nonfrivolous appellate issue. Accordingly,
counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is
excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS
DISMISSED.
