Before DAVIS, WIENER, AND EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Cheryl Harris Diggs, the attorney appointed to represent

filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,

(1967). Ledesma has filed a response to Diggs’ brief, and he

also moves this court for the appointment of new counsel. Our

Accordingly, Ledesma’s motion for the appointment of new counsel

is DENIED, Diggs’ motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, Diggs

is excused from further responsibilities herein, and this appeal

is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
