The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rigoberto Lopez-Gomez 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). Lopez-Gomez has not filed a response. He recently has been released from imprisonment and removed from the United States.

Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivo-lous issue for appeal. Accordingly, coun *195 sel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED in part as frivolous, see 5th Cir. R. 42.2, and in part as moot. See United States v. Rosenbaum-Alanis, 483 F.3d 381, 383 (5th Cir. 2007).
