August 22, 2000
Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Juan
Cortez-Aguirre (Cortez) has requested leave to withdraw as
counsel and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Cortez has received a copy of
counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a response. Our
independent review of the brief and record discloses no
nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to
withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
responsibilities, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
