Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 2:01-CR-7-ALL

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender representing Michael Bullock has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance
with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Our independent
review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Bullock’s response
shows that there are no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. We
decline to address any claim of ineffective assistance of
counsel, without prejudice to Bullock’s right to assert such
claims in a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. United States
