Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 99-20675 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

NGA PHUNG LAM,

Defendant-Appellee.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-98-CR-344-5 -------------------- August 24, 2000

Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The court-appointed counsel for Nga Phung Lam has moved for

leave to withdraw and filed a motion and brief as required by

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Nga Phung Lam has not

filed a response to the instant motion. Our independent review

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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