Appeal from the United States District Court

USDC No. 5:06-CR-24-2

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The attorney appointed to represent Joseph Cleveland
Thibodeaux has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief
in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Thibodeaux filed a response and has moved for the appointment of
substitute counsel. Our independent review of counsel’s brief,
Thibodeaux’s response, and the record 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
