UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
LESTER CHARLES HAWKINS,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:01-CR-39-1
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Court-appointed counsel for Lester Charles Hawkins has moved
for leave to withdraw from this direct appeal and has filed a
brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Hawkins has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but
has not filed a response. Our independent review of the brief
and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this appeal.
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.
