Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. EP-99-CR-58-ALL

August 21, 2001
Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Gerardo Antonio Flores-De La Cruz’s appointed counsel has
filed a motion for leave to withdraw as counsel and a brief in
support in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738,
744 (1967). Flores-De La Cruz has received a copy of counsel’s
motion and brief but has not filed a response. Although counsel
did not address the validity of the revocation of Flores-De La
Cruz’s supervised release, our independent review of the record
and counsel’s brief reveals that both the revocation and the
sentence were valid and that there are no nonfrivolous issues for
