PER CURIAM:* The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Javier Garcia-Gomez has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Garcia-Gomez has filed a response to this brief stating that he would like his sentence to be reduced but does not know of a legal basis for doing so. Our independent review of the brief, the record, and the 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.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
