October 19, 2000

Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jesus

Gonzalez-Huitron (Gonzalez) moves for leave to withdraw and has

filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967). Gonzalez has received copies of counsel’s motion and

brief, but he has not filed a response. Our independent review

of counsel’s Anders brief 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. 5th Cir.
