Court-appointed counsel for Derron Hoskins has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Hoskins was sent a copy of counsel’s motion and brief, but he has not filed a response. Hoskins filed a motion for an extension of time until January 24, 2004, to file a pro se appellate brief. This motion for extension of time is DENIED.

Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue 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.
