PER CURIAM:*
The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Martin Hernandez-

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Hernandez-Juarez has filed a
response which incorporates a motion for the appointment of substitute counsel
or, in the alternative, for leave to proceed pro se and for an extension of time to
file a pro se brief.

should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

record, counsel’s brief, and Hernandez-Juarez’s response 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. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
