for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:05-CR-313-6
Before PRADO, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

The attorney appointed to represent Steven Cortez has moved for leave to
withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967). Cortez has not filed a response. Our independent review of the
record and counsel’s brief 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.
