USDC No. H-99-CR-342-ALL

December 13, 2000
Before POLITZ, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for Terrance Gaskin has requested leave to
withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967). Gaskin filed a response, contesting counsel’s motion and claiming error in
the court’s failure to permit a two-point “safety valve” adjustment to his sentencing
computation. Our independent review of the brief, Gaskin’s response, and the

record discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to
withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and
the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
