Counsel appointed to represent Harrell Ray Blacklock, Jr., has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. *348 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Blacklock has filed a response and requested the appointment of substitute counsel. Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Blacklock’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, Blacklock’s motion for the appointment of substitute counsel is DENIED, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
