United States v. Diaz

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Lázaro Torres Diaz 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). Diaz has filed a response. Diaz’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal is premature. Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Diaz’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.

Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, Diaz’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cíe. 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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
