Counsel appointed to represent Bernice Lee Woodson has filed a motion to withdraw and brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Our independent review of the brief, Woodson’s 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 the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Wood-son’s “Motion to Remove Counsel and to Proceed on Appeal pro se” is DENIED.
