                          Appeal from the United States District Court
                              for the Northern District of Texas
                                   USDC No. 1:08-CR-68-7

Before GARZA, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The attorney appointed to represent Larry Villareal has moved for leave to withdraw
and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our
independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for

it. In any event, Villareal raises only claims concerning counsel’s alleged ineffective
assistance in connection with the plea and sentence, but the record is insufficiently developed

Cir. 2006). Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is

        *
          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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published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.
