v.

IGNACIO HERNANDEZ-AGUILAR, also known as Ignacio Avila-Baltazar

                                           Defendant-Appellant

                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Western District of Texas
                         USDC No. 5:97-CR-156-ALL

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*
      The attorney appointed to represent Ignacio Hernandez-Aguilar has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Hernandez-Aguilar has filed a response. The
record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of
Hernandez-Aguilar’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. See United States
v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006). Our independent review of the

      *
      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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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. 06-51218

record, counsel’s brief, and Hernandez-Aguilar’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.
