Before JONES, BENAVIDES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Court-appointed counsel for Norberto Lopez-Lopez (Lopez)

has moved for leave to withdraw from this direct appeal and has

and has filed a response but raises no potentially non-frivolous

issue therein. Our independent review of the brief and the record

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. discloses no non-frivolous issue in this appeal. Accordingly, the

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.
