Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The lawyer appointed to represent Jose Luis Rodriguez on
appeal 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, Rodriguez’s response, and
the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Counsel’s
motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused
from further responsibilities in this case, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
