MARCIAL CARRANZA-VILLEGAS,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:02-CR-87-ALL
--------------------
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed for Marcial Carranza-Villegas (“Carranza”)
has filed a motion for leave to withdraw and a brief as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Carranza has
submitted two responses to counsel’s brief, moving in one to
proceed pro se on appeal and, in the other, for the appointment
of new counsel. Carranza’s motions are DENIED.
Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Carranza’s
responses, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.
