United States v. Rico-Mandujano
Docket: No. 08-40119
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; December 9, 2008; Federal Appellate Court
The Federal Public Defender representing Jose Cuahutemoc Rico-Mandujano has sought permission to withdraw from the case and submitted an Anders brief, indicating no viable issues for appeal. Rico-Mandujano did not respond to this motion. Following an independent examination of the case record and the brief, the court found no nonfrivolous grounds for appeal. Consequently, the court granted the motion for counsel to withdraw, excused counsel from further obligations, and dismissed the appeal. The opinion is designated as non-published and not precedent-setting under specific 5th Circuit rules.
