UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus ALLEN DESDUNES, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 01-CR-164-ALL-H -------------------- October 30, 2002 Before DeMOSS, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* The Federal Public Defender (“FPD”) representing Allen Desdunes has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Desdunes was provided with a copy of the FPD’s Anders motion and brief but has not filed a response. Our independent review of the FPD’s brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.

Accordingly, the FPD’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 02-30013 -2- the FPD is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
