UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus ANTONIO JARAMILLO-TAVARES, Defendant-Appellant.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 5:98-CR-2-1 - - - - - - - - - - June 17, 1999 Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Court-appointed counsel for Antonio Jaramillo-Tavares has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Jaramillo-Tavares has filed a response in which he raises, among other issues, ineffective assistance of counsel. The record has not been adequately developed for us to consider Jaramillo-Tavares’s argument on direct appeal. See United States v. Haese, 162 F.3d 359, 363-64 (5th Cir. 1998), cert. denied, ___ S. Ct. ___, 1999

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 98-41012 -2- WL 241837 (U.S., May 24, 1999). Our independent review of the brief, the record, and Jaramillo-Tavares’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
