IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 99-40475
c/w No. 99-40477
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ERIC JEROME RELIFORD,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:98-CR-67-1
--------------------
March 1, 2000
Before KING, Chief Judge, and DAVIS and BENAVIDES, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Eric
Jerome Reliford has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Reliford
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 for appeal. 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
