The Federal Public Defender, counsel for Silton Ardoin, 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). Ardoin has filed a response. Our independent review of the brief, the response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this direct appeal. Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and Ardoin’s APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
