Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:08-CR-43-1
Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Valladarez-
Gonzalez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance
with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Valladarez-Gonzalez has been
deported from the United States and 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
