December 15, 1999
Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Victor
Hernandez Muniz has moved for leave to withdraw and filed a brief
as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Muniz
has filed a pro se appeal brief in response to the instant
motion. Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Muniz’s
brief, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
