JOHN HOWARD GUNTER,

                                                   Defendant-Appellant

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:09-CR-299-1

Before GARZA, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent John Howard Gunter has moved for
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Gunter has not filed a response. Our independent review
of the record and counsel’s brief 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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. 09-41050

See 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2.   Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw due to his
appointment as a United States Magistrate Judge is DENIED as moot.
