v.
CRISTOBAL SANCHEZ-PENA,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 7:08-CR-784-ALL
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

Pena has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Sanchez-Pena has not filed a
response. Our independent review of counsel’s 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 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2.
