KENNETH MARTIN APGAR,

                                                   Defendant-Appellant

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:08-CR-534-1

Before SMITH, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Kenneth Martin Apgar has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Apgar has filed a response, in which he makes a request
for appointment of substitute counsel. Our independent review of the record,
counsel’s brief, and Apgar’s response 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.

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.

                                No. 09-40519

See 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2. Apgar’s motion for appointment of substitute counsel is
DENIED. Cf. United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03 (5th Cir. 1998).
