The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Jerry Pat Stewart, Jr., has moved for leave to withdraw from 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). Stewart has not filed a response.

Our independent review of the brief and record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for *454 leave to withdraw is GRANTED. Counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
