Before JONES, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed to represent Victor Manuel Arellano-
Gonzalez on appeal has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a
brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Arellano-Gonzalez has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief
but has not filed a response.
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
Our independent review of the record and counsel’s motion
and brief 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. 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
