Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender representing Valentin Rodriguez-

Moreno has requested leave to withdraw as counsel and has filed a

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

Rodriguez 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,

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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