                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:07-CR-218-1


Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Damien Earl Kimble
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders
v. California, 

(1967).              Kimble has filed a response.             Our
independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Kimble’s response 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
