UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
ISRAEL CRUZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:04-CR-561-3
--------------------
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed to represent Israel Cruz has requested
leave to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Cruz was informed of counsel’s
motion 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, and
the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
