Defendant-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. M-03-CR-59-1
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed appellate counsel for Felipe Barbosa-Torres
has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Barbosa-Torres has
not responded to his counsel’s motion. Our independent review of
counsel’s brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue
for appeal. Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities, 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
