UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DERRICK D. HOPES,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:01-CR-427-1
--------------------
Before GARZA, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed to represent Derrick D. Hopes has
requested leave to withdraw from this appeal and has filed a
brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Hopes 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 for 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.
