The attorney appointed to represent Defendant-Appellant Monclavio Borjorque Martinez-Montoya has filed a motion for leave to withdraw as counsel for appellant in this appeal 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). Martinez-Montoya has filed a pro se response and argues, inter alia, that counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing *445 to object on the basis of the Sixth Amendment and Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). We decline to address Martinez^ Montoya’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on direct appeal, without prejudice, however, to his raising those claims in a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. See Massaro v. United States, 538 U.S. 500, 508, 123 S.Ct. 1690, 155 L.Ed.2d 714 (2003).

Our independent review of the briefs, the record, and Martinez-Montoya’s responses 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.
