The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Willie E. Phillips 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). Phillips has filed a response, requesting the appointment of counsel. Our independent review of the record, counsel’s *850 brief, and Phillips’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, Phillips’s motion to appoint counsel is DENIED, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
