RICKY LEON OWENS
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:06-CR-39-ALL
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Ricky Leon Owens
has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Owens has filed a response. The record is
insufficiently developed to allow consideration at this time of Owens’ claim of
ineffective assistance of counsel. See United States v. Cantwell, 470 F.3d 1087,
1091 (5th Cir. 2006). Our independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and

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.
