UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
BEATRICE NWUGO ANYANWU,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
USDC No. 3:10-CR-101-2
Before DAVIS, SOUTHWICK, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Beatrice Nwugo Anyanwu on appeal
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Anyanwu has not filed a response. Counsel
contends Anyanwu can raise no nonfrivolous issues on appeal because she
agreed to waive her rights, including those conferred by 18 U.S.C. § 3742, to
appeal from her conviction and sentence. Further, counsel has certified, as
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
Case: 13-30181 Document: 00512405697 Page: 2 Date Filed: 10/14/2013
No. 13-30181
required by United States v. Acquaye, 452 F.3d 380, 382 (5th Cir. 2006), that the
Government intends to rely on the appellate waiver in this case.
Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no
nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, 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.
