Defendant-Appellant.

Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:04-CR-492-1
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Counsel appointed to represent Jesse Valdez has filed a
motion to withdraw and a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Valdez has filed a response. Our
independent review of the brief, Valdez’s response, and the
record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly,
the 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. Valdez’s motion to strike the
Anders brief is DENIED. Valdez’s motion to proceed pro se is
also DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902-03
(5th Cir. 1998).
