Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 7:08-CR-753-1
Before GARZA, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no non-frivolous
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.
