Counsel appointed to represent Laura Patricia Ginez-Rodriguez on appeal has requested 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). Ginez-Rodriguez, who pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the transportation of an illegal alien for commercial advantage or financial gain, received a copy of counsel’s motion and has not filed a response.

Our independent review of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no issue of arguable merit 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.
