UNITED STATES of AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JOSE L. NUNEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. L-98-CR-216-1
--------------------
April 18, 2000
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw as
counsel and a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967). Jose L. Nunez received a copy of counsel’s
motion and brief but has not filed a response. Our independent
review of the brief and record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is
excused from further responsibilities in this case, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
