United States v. Williams

¶1 The Federal Public Defender (FPD) appointed to represent Warner D. Williams on appeal has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Williams has filed a response and moves for release pending appeal. Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Williams’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue. Accordingly, the FPD’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, Williams’s motion for release pending appeal is DENIED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
