Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. M-00-CR-568-1
--------------------
October 29, 2001
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jorge
Alberto Lara has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a
brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967). Lara was provided with a copy of counsel’s Anders motion
and brief, but he has not filed a response. Our independent
review of the record and counsel’s brief shows that there are no
nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion
for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
responsibilities herein, and this 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
