USDC No. 7:08-CR-1187-ALL

Before DAVIS, SMITH and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

Ortiz has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Morales-Ortiz 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.
