The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Leo Loston has moved for *945 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). Loston has filed a response in which he argues that the district court erred in denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion because he is eligible for relief under Amendment 706 to the Sentencing Guidelines and because relief was warranted. Loston also seeks the appointment of new counsel. Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Loston’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, Loston’s motion for the appointment of new counsel is DENIED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
