v.

MARCO ANTONIO NUNEZ-RODEA,

                                                   Defendant-Appellant


                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 1:09-CR-330-1


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

(1967). Nunez-Rodea has not
filed a response. Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief
discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Moreover, Nunez-Rodea’s removal
from the United States rendered moot any issues as to his sentence. See United
States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 

, 383 (5th Cir. 2007). Accordingly,

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
