-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. L-99-CR-166-1 -------------------- June 16, 2000 Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Carlos Sanchez-Bonilla (Sanchez) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Sanchez has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief, but has not filed a response.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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