v.

HENRY WILLIAMS III, also known as Hen,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Eastern District of Louisiana
                             USDC No. 2:05-CR-224-1

Before KING, JOLLY, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Henry Williams III has moved for
leave to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Williams has not filed a response. Counsel fails to adequately address the sole
issue on appeal: whether Williams’s career offender status precluded his
receiving a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Nevertheless,
the appeal is patently frivolous. See United States v. Anderson, 591 F.3d 789,
790-91 (5th Cir. 2009). The motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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