                        for the Southern District of Texas

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS and STEWART, Circuit Judges:

PER CURIAM:*

         The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Raymundo Gonzalez-Garibay

(“Gonzalez”) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Gonzalez has filed a response. Our independent review of the brief,

Gonzalez’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issues. Accordingly, the motion

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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