Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 2:03-CR-280-2

Before SMITH, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The attorney appointed to represent Terrance Howard has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Howard has not filed a response. Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2.
