UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JOSE ANTONIO PINEDO-URENO,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 3:05-CR-457-ALL
--------------------
Before JOLLY, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed to represent Jose Antonio Pinedo-Ureno on
appeal has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Pinedo-
Ureno received a copy of counsel’s motion and has not filed a
response. Our independent review of counsel’s brief and the
record discloses no issue of arguable merit 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
