UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MARTIN B. YSASSI,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-01-CR-242-1
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for Martin B. Ysassi has moved for
leave to withdraw from this appeal and has filed a brief pursuant
to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Ysassi was advised
of the motion and served with a copy of counsel’s brief, but has
not filed a response. Our independent review of the brief and
the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
