Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-02-CR-94-ALL
--------------------
Before BARKSDALE, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender has moved for leave to withdraw
and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent review of the brief, Vela’s
response, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
