Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
BEFORE JONES, BENAVIDES and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jason Hawkins, the Assistant Federal Public Defender
appointed to represent Demond Monta Easter, has requested leave to
withdraw from this appeal and has filed a brief as required by

Easter waived his right to appeal his sentence, with certain
exceptions, and Hawkins asserts that Easter’s sentencing presents

no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Easter has received a copy of
Hawkins’s motion and brief, but he has filed no response.
Our independent review of the record reveals no poten-
tially meritorious issues for appeal not discussed by counsel.
Accordingly, Hawkins’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities in this case, and
the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
