Applying the standard established in *Anders v. California* and Fifth Circuit Rule 42.2, the court concurred with counsel’s assessment that no arguable issues existed to support further litigation. As a practical consequence, the appointed counsel is excused from all further responsibilities in the case, and the appeal is terminated without consideration of the merits.
