UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JERRY WAYNE LYNCH,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 2:03-CR-20012-ALL-RF
--------------------
Before BARKSDALE, STEWART, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed for Jerry Wayne Lynch has filed a motion
for leave to withdraw, a brief, and a supplemental brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Lynch has
filed a response. Our independent review of counsel’s briefs,
Lynch’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.
We decline to address Lynch’s allegations of ineffective
assistance of counsel on direct appeal. See United States v.
Brewster, 137 F.3d 853, 859 (5th Cir. 1998).
