Case Explained: Summary Calendar United States of America Plaintiff— v. Demartin Hall Defendant—

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Filed: 2026-07-14

The fifth-circuit granted the appointed attorney’s motion to withdraw and dismissed the appeal after reviewing the Anders brief and the record. The court applied the standard established in *Anders v. California* and *United States v. Flores*, concurring with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issues for appellate review. As a result, the attorney is excused from further responsibilities, and the case is dismissed without addressing the merits of the criminal conviction.
