                                                  Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 5:07-CR-73-ALL


Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Baltazar De Los
Santos-Ramirez (De Los Santos) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed
a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). De Los
Santos 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 5TH CIR. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
