UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

MODESTO MENDIETA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:09-CR-322-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Modesto Mendieta

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders

v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Mendieta 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 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Mendieta’s untimely motion for

appointment of substitute counsel or alternatively for leave to proceed pro se on
