                              USDC No. 7:09-CR-584-1


Before JOLLY, STEWART, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Miguel Ramos-Pineda
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders
v. California, 

(1967). Ramos-Pineda has not filed a response. 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 5 TH C IR. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
