August 27, 1999
Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Debra Ann
Ard has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Ard has
received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a
response. Our independent review of the brief and the record
discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, counsel’s 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
