                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Middle District of Louisiana
                             USDC No. 3:08-CR-80-1


Before KING, JOLLY, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Bobby Joe Gamez has moved for leave
to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967). Gamez 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 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
