withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents
no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, the motion for leave to
withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,
and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. The motion to appoint new
counsel is DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir.
1998).
