Before POLITZ, SMITH, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender has moved for leave to withdraw as counsel for
the defendant, Ignacio Torres-Lopez, and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
California.1 Torres has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief and has filed
a response.
Our independent review of the record, Torres’ response to counsel’s motion,
and controlling jurisprudence 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. 2
