JOAQUIN RUIZ-BARRON

                                           Defendant-Appellant


                Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Western District of Texas
                         USDC No. 3:06-CR-2056-3


Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Court-appointed counsel for Joaquin Ruiz-Barron (Ruiz) has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Ruiz has been deported and has not filed a response to
counsel’s motion. 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



      *
      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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
                                No. 06-51184

herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED in part as frivolous, see 5TH CIR.
R. 42.2, and in part as moot.
