-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. 1:03-CR-928-ALL --------------------

Before JOLLY, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Misael

Andrade-Ortiz (Andrade) has requested leave to withdraw and has

filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

response. Our independent review of the brief and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Counsel’s 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.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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