Before DAVIS, WIENER, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Juan Pardo-Rivera (Pardo) has moved
for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Pardo has been removed from the United States
to Mexico and 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 in part as

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. [5th Circuit Case No.]

frivolous, see 5TH CIR. R. 42.2, and in part as moot. See United States v.
Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 383 (5th Cir. 2007).
