importation of heroin into the United States in violation of

    Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions
that have no precedential value and merely decide particular
cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes
needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal
profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published.
v. California1 and has moved to withdraw from this case.
Castro-Favela has been notified of this action, but has not
responded. Having reviewed the counsel's brief and the entire
record, and finding no nonfrivolous issue on appeal, we relieve
counsel from further responsibilities herein and the appeal is
dismissed.2
