LC Brooks, Coleman, FL, pro se.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, USDC No. 3:00-CR-178-1.
Before GARZA, DENNIS, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent L.C. Brooks 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). Brooks has not filed a response. Our independent review of the record and counsel's brief discloses that the appeal is moot. 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.
