UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
SHARON JANE BOYETT,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:04-CR-115-2
--------------------
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Sharon
Jane Boyett has moved for leave to withdraw from representation
and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). Boyett has filed several responses. Our
independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Boyett’s
responses shows that there are no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.
Although Boyett argues in one of her responses that her counsel
was ineffective for various reasons, the record is insufficiently
developed to allow consideration of these claims on direct

Cir. 1987).
Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,
counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and this
appeal is DISMISSED. All other outstanding motions are DENIED.
See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
