Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Abayone

brief in accordance with Anders v. California,

(1967). Akomolafe was notified of counsel’s motion and brief,

but he has not filed a response. Our independent review of the

record and brief shows that there are no nonfrivolous issues for

appeal. Consequently, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. -2-

and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
