UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Edward Lee SIMIEN, Jr., Defendant-Appellant, 158 F. App'x 558

PER CURIAM: Court-appointed counsel for Edward Lee Simien, Jr., has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Simien has filed a response and requested the appointment of counsel. Our independent review of the brief, Simien’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, Simien’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
