ABELARDO MENDOZA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 7:04-CR-52-1
--------------------
Before BARKSDALE, GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Abelardo Mendoza on
appeal has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Mendoza
has responded to counsel’s motion. Our independent review of the
brief, the record, and Mendoza’s response discloses no
nonfrivolous issue in this 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
