IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED August 22, 2011 No. 08-31186 Summary Calendar Lyle W. Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. HENRY WILLIAMS III, also known as Hen, Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 2:05-CR-224-1

Before KING, JOLLY, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* The attorney appointed to represent Henry Williams III has moved for leave to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Williams has not filed a response. Counsel fails to adequately address the sole issue on appeal: whether Williams’s career offender status precluded his receiving a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Nevertheless, the appeal is patently frivolous. See United States v. Anderson, 591 F.3d 789, 790-91 (5th Cir. 2009). The motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
