PER CURIAM:*

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Reginald

as required by Anders v. California,

(1967). Walker

has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has not

filed a response.

Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses

no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion

for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5TH

CIR. R. 42.2.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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