October 29, 2001
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ernesto
Gonzalez-Alejo 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). Gonzalez-Alejo has
received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a
response. Our independent review of the record and counsel’s
brief reveals no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly,
counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED; counsel is
excused from further responsibilities in this case, and the
