UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JOSE LUCAS ARTEAGA-RODRIGUEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. B-02-CR-59-2
--------------------
Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed to represent Jose Lucas Arteaga-Rodriguez
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Arteaga has not
filed a response. Our independent review of the brief and the
record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this direct appeal.
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
