Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Gerardo Sosa has moved

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Sosa has filed a

of the record, counsel’s brief, and Sosa’s response 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

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
