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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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