PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Shawn Scott has moved for leave to

We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record 

reflected therein, as well as Scott’s response. We concur with counsel’s 

assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. 

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.
