Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. EP-02-CR-2026-ALL-DB
--------------------
Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Patricia
Villegas-Steele on direct appeal has filed a motion to withdraw
and a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744
(1967). Villegas-Steele has not filed a response. Our
independent review of the brief and the record discloses no
nonfrivolous issue in this direct appeal. Accordingly, the
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.
