Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
CARLOS PONTI RHODES,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. G-99-CR-23-ALL
--------------------
August 22, 2001
Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Assistant Federal Public Defender appointed to represent
Carlos Ponti Rhodes has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed
a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Rhodes has received copies of counsel’s motion and brief but did
not file a response. Our independent review of counsel’s 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
