The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Marco Antonio Nunez-Rodea 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). Nunez-Rodea has not filed a response. Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Moreover, Nunez-Rodea’s removal from the United States rendered moot any issues as to his sentence. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 383 (5th Cir. 2007). 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.
