Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 9:02-CR-12-6
--------------------
Before JONES, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed to represent Lashasta Knighton has
requested leave to withdraw as counsel and has filed a brief
as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Our independent review of the brief, record, and Knighton’s
response discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly,
Knighton’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED, counsel’s
motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from
further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
