U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Billy Smith, 462 F. App'x 486 (5th Cir. 2012)

United States v. Billy Smith

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Billy Joe Smith in this direct criminal appeal has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). See United States v. Flores, 632 F.3d 229 (5th Cir. 2011). Smith has not filed a response. We have reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
