IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 99-50743 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus MARTIN LORETO VEGA-VEGA Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. DR-98-CR-609-1 -------------------- June 15, 2000 Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Martin Loreto Vega-Vega has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Vega-Vega has filed a response, asserting that before he entered his guilty plea, counsel and the prosecutor informed him that the maximum sentence he would receive was two years and that he was entitled to a reduction in his sentence pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2.

Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. The record is not developed sufficiently to reach Vega-Vega’s ineffective assistance claim.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 99-50743 -2- United States v. Navejar, 963 F.2d 732, 735 (5th Cir. 1992).

Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.

MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
