                             USDC No. 2:02-CR-385-1

Before WIENER, STEWART, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The attorney appointed to represent Derek Smith has moved for leave to
withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967). Smith has filed a response. Our independent review of the record,
counsel’s brief, and Smith’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.
See 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2. Smith’s motion to supplement his response 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
