PER CURIAM:* Counsel appointed to represent Victor Manuel Hernandez on appeal has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as is required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Hernandez has filed a response. Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Hernandez’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
