                    Appeal from the United States District Court

                              USDC No. 1:09-CR-114-1


Before SMITH, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Homero
Benavidez-Garcia has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in
accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Benavidez-Garcia
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.

        *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
R. 47.5.4.
