Counsel appointed for Jose Luis Luna-Martinez has filed a motion for leave to withdraw and a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Luna-Martinez has filed a response. Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Luna-Martinez’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.

We decline to address Luna-Martinez’s allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel on direct appeal. See United States v. Brewster, 137 F.3d 853, 859 (5th Cir. 1998).

Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED; counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
