Joseph H. Gay, Jr., Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Daniel Alan Gunnels, Leavenworth, KS, pro se.
Before REAVLEY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The attorney appointed to represent Daniel Alan Gunnels 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). Gunnels has filed a response in which he raises claims that counsel rendered ineffective assistance and that the district court erred by denying his § 3582 motion because Amendment 709 may be retroactively applied. Additionally, he contends that his original sentence was improper and that the district court should have granted his § 3582 motion to correct it. Our independent review of the record, counsel's brief, and Gunnels'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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
