Lourdes Rodriguez, Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, USDC No. 4:08-CR-421-1.
Before JOLLY, GARZA, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
The attorney appointed to represent Jose Francisco Martinez-Maldonado (Martinez) 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). Martinez has filed a response. Our independent review of the record, counsel's brief, and Martinez'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.
