UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
TODD BAINES,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:01-CR-00156-ALL-Y
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender, court-appointed counsel for
Todd Baines, has moved for leave to withdraw from this appeal and
has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967). Baines has received a copy of counsel’s motion and
brief but has not filed a response. Our independent review
of the brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.
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.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
