UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Andres ALARCON-TAPIA, also known as Andres Alarcon, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 06-51482
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Dec. 12, 2007.
    Joseph H. Gay, Jr, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Federal Public Defender’s Office Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before REAVLEY, BARKSDALE, and GARZA, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The attorney appointed to represent Andres Alarcon-Tapia has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Alareon-Tapia has filed a response. The record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of Alarcon-Tapia’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. See United States v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir.2006). Alar-con-Tapia’s requests for an evidentiary hearing, for new counsel, for a new trial, and to file a supplemental response to counsel’s motion are DENIED. Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Alarcon-Tapia’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, the 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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
