United States v. Beatrice Anyanwu

541 F. App'x 472

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Beatrice Nwugo Anyanwu on appeal has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. Cali forniai 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Anyanwu has not filed a response. Counsel contends Anyanwu can raise no nonfrivolous issues on appeal because she agreed to waive her rights, including those conferred by 18 U.S.C. § 3742, to appeal from her conviction and sentence. Further, counsel has certified, as required by United States v. Acquaye, 452 F.3d 380, 382 (5th Cir.2006), that the Government intends to rely on the appellate waiver in this case.

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* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
