Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). McDonald 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 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2.
