                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:07-CR-242-1


Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Michael Kenneth Valmore has moved
for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).           Valmore has not filed a response.              Our
independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Valmore’s arguments
discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, the 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
