United States v. Ruiz

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Ruiz, 252 F. App'x 602 (5th Cir. 2007)

United States v. Ruiz

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney retained to represent Miguel Ruiz, Jr., has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Ruiz has filed a response. The record is insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of Ruiz’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. See United States v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087, 1091 (5th Cir. 2006). Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Ruiz’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue 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.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
