Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The attorney appointed to represent Michael Sean Anoman has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Anoman has filed a response. Although Anoman asserts that his counsel provided ineffective assistance, the record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration of this issue on direct appeal. See United States v. Higdon, 832 F.2d 312, 313-14 (5th Cir.1987). Our independent review of the brief, Anoman'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.
Anoman's request for the appointment of a new attorney is DENIED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
