June 17, 1999
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for Francisco T. Alvarado, the
federal public defender (FPD), has filed a motion and brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Alvarado
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
R. 47.5.4.
