California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Torres has responded to counsel’s motion, contending that his plea agreement was breached when performance was rendered impossible after he entered his plea due to our opinion in United States v. Monjaras-Castaneda, 190 F.3d 326 (5th Cir. 1999), cert. denied, 120 S. Ct. 1254 (2000), and that counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the district court’s rejection of the Government’s stipulation that was rendered * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.

Accordingly, the AFPDs’ motion to withdraw is GRANTED; the AFPFs are excused from further responsibilities herein and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
