Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:04-CR-271-3
--------------------
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Donald John Alford has
filed a motion to withdraw and a brief pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Alford has not filed a
response. Our independent review of the brief and the record
discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this direct appeal.
Accordingly, the 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
