Counsel appointed to represent Micah Benites 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). Benites has filed a response to counsel’s motion in which he challenges his sentence, the voluntariness of confessions he made before he entered his guilty plea, the conduct of the prosecutor, and the effectiveness of counsel. Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Benites’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for 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.
