Conference Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MARTIN LORETO VEGA-VEGA Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. DR-98-CR-609-1
--------------------
June 15, 2000
Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Martin
Loreto Vega-Vega has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as
required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Vega-Vega
has filed a response, asserting that before he entered his guilty
plea, counsel and the prosecutor informed him that the maximum
sentence he would receive was two years and that he was entitled
to a reduction in his sentence pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2.
Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses
no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. The record is not developed
sufficiently to reach Vega-Vega’s ineffective assistance claim.
