United States v. Poot

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Poot, 262 F. App'x 629 (5th Cir. 2008)

United States v. Poot

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Gustavo Estrella Poot 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). Poot has filed a response, asserting that counsel was ineffective. Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Poot’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. Poot’s motion to disqualify and appoint new counsel is DENIED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
