    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    April 20, 2010.
    Richard R. Pickens, II, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Diane Hollenshead Copes, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, New Orleans, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Christopher Albert Aberle, Mandeville, LA, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Terrance Howard, Pollock, LA, pro se.
    Before SMITH, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The attorney appointed to represent Terrance Howard has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Howard has not filed a response. 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. 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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
