Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Simuel D.
Howard has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in
accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our
independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Howard’s
response thereto discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is
excused from further responsibilities herein, and this 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
