Suzanna O. Etessam, U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Texas, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Larry Edward Jarrett, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Richardson, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, USDC No. 3:05-CR-82-4.

Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.


The attorney appointed to represent Kim Joe Graves has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Graves has filed a response requesting that new counsel be appointed. Our independent review of the record, counsel's brief, and Graves'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 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. The request for new counsel is DENIED.
