June 15, 1999
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The federal public defender appointed to represent Leondrus
McBride, Jr., has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a
brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
McBride has filed a response to counsel’s motion in which he
argues that his convictions should be vacated because trial
counsel was ineffective for failing to move to suppress evidence
on the basis that officers obtained a warrant by giving a
magistrate false information in violation of Franks v. Delaware,
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 98-41143
-2-
438 U.S. 154 (1978). The record has not been adequately
developed for us to consider McBride’s 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,
1999). Our independent review of the brief and the record
discloses no nonfrivolous appellate issue. Accordingly, the
motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from
further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
