Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-41412 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

JOE ERLINDO MEDRANO, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. C-89-CR-89-1 -------------------- June 15, 2001

Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Joe

Erlindo Medrano has filed a motion for leave to withdraw as

counsel and a brief in support in accordance with Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Medrano received a copy of

counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a response. Our

independent review of the record and counsel’s brief reveals no

nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion

for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities in this case, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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