Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ROMEO ASENCION CRUZ-MARTINEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. B-00-CR-531-1
--------------------
November 1, 2001
Before JONES, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Romeo
Asencion Cruz-Ramirez (Cruz) on appeal has moved for leave to
withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Cruz has received a copy of counsel’s brief,
but has not filed a response. Our independent review of the brief
and the record discloses no nonfrivolous appellate issue.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the
APPEAL IS DISMISSED. 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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
