IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 01-40527 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus ALEJANDRO SALAS-RANGEL, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. L-00-CR-1231-1 -------------------- February 1, 2002 Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Alejandro Salas-Rangel has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Although Salas was notified of his right to respond to his counsel’s motion, Salas has not filed a response. Our independent review of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, the 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
