Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Lucas

Lopez-Martinez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

but he has not filed a response. Our independent review of the

brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. No. -2-

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
