Before JOLLY, GARZA, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Jose Francisco Martinez-Maldonado

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities
herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5 TH C IR. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
