UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
KENNETH PAUL ALEX,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-01-CR-100-1
--------------------
February 20, 2003
Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jerome Godinich, Jr., court-appointed appellate counsel for
Kenneth Paul Alex, has requested leave to withdraw and has filed
a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Alex has received a copy of counsel’s motion but has not filed a
response. Alex knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to
appeal sentencing issues, and our independent review of the
briefs and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 01-21044

Accordingly, counsel’s 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.
