                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 3:07-CR-255-ALL


Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jose Luis Gonzalez-
Ojeda has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).              Gonzalez-Ojeda has not filed a
response. Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no
nonfrivolous issue for appeal.           Accordingly, counsel’s motion for 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
