Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:03-CR-18-ALL-P 

--------------------

Before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Gilberto

Rodriguez-Castillo (Rodriguez) has moved for leave to withdraw

and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386

U.S. 738 (1967). Rodriguez has filed a response, arguing that he

received excessive criminal history points for his prior

convictions, his criminal history score overrepresents the

seriousness of his criminal history, the district court should

have downwardly departed, and he should not have received a 16-

level increase in his offense level for having a prior conviction

for a crime of violence. 

Our independent review of the brief, Rodriguez’s response,

and the record 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.
