EDWIN CHARLES FORTES, JR

                                            Defendant-Appellant


                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Eastern District of Texas
                          USDC No. 1:04-CR-86-ALL


Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Edwin Charles
Fortes, Jr., has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance
with Anders v. California, 
386 U.S. 738
(1967). Fortes has filed a response. The
record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of Fortes’s
claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. See United States v. Cantwell, 
470 F.3d 1087
, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006). Our independent review of the record, counsel’s



      *
      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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
                               No. 05-41012

brief, and Fortes’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
Accordingly, the 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.
