                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 3:07-CR-3-1


Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent John Arredondo has moved for leave
to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967). Arredondo has filed a response. Our independent review of the
record, counsel’s brief, and Arredondo’s response 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
