Counsel appointed to represent Hannibal X. Brown 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). Brown has filed a response and requested the appointment of substitute counsel.

Our independent review of the brief, Brown’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for 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. *49 Brown’s motion to appoint substitute counsel is DENIED.
