Citator

UpLaw has not yet analyzed United States v. Favela-Gonzalez. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.

PER CURIAM: *

The attorney appointed to represent Jose Luis Favela-Gonzalez has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 1 asserting that there are no nonfrivolous issues on appeal. Favela-Gonzalez has not filed a response.

Counsel’s brief has satisfied Anders’ requirements sufficiently to trigger our obligation to examine the record. 2 Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. 3

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
