Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-01-CR-714-1
--------------------
Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Elier
Piedra has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief
as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Piedra has not filed a response. Our independent review of the
brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
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.
