Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 98-41138 Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES of AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee, versus

JOSE L. NUNEZ,

Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. L-98-CR-216-1 -------------------- April 18, 2000

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw as

counsel and a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386

U.S. 738 (1967). Jose L. Nunez received a copy of counsel’s

motion and brief but has not filed a response. Our independent

review of the brief and record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.

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

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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