UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MARIANO ORNELAS-ARAIZA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:00-CR-337-ALL
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent
Mariano Ornelas-Araiza (Ornelas) has moved for leave to withdraw
and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Ornelas has not filed a response to
counsel’s motion. Our independent review of the brief and the
record discloses no nonfrivolous issue 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
