PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel representing Jairo Cardenas has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Cardenas has filed a
response and supplemental response. Our independent review of
counsel’s brief, Cardenas’ response, and the record discloses no
nonfrivolous issue. The record has not been adequately developed
for us to consider any claim of ineffective assistance of counsel
