UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus JUAN HERNANDEZ-LINARES, also known as Eugenio Villa, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. W-01-CR-67-1 -------------------- June 18, 2002 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Court appointed counsel for Juan Hernandez-Linares has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Hernandez-Linares 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 issue. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
