Case: 10-50062 Document: 00511257206 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/07/2010 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS United States Court of Appeals FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT Fifth Circuit FILED No. 10-50062 Summary Calendar October 7, 2010 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. FLOYD DAVID REED, Defendant-Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 1:96-CR-19-1 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Floyd David Reed has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Reed has not filed a response. Our independent review of the record and counsel s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal. At his revocation hearing, Reed admitted the fact of his Texas conviction. This admission was a sufficient basis for the district court to revoke his supervised release. See, e.g., United States v. Spraglin, 418 F.3d 479, 480 (5th Cir. 2005) * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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. Case: 10-50062 Document: 00511257206 Page: 2 No. 10-50062 Date Filed: 10/07/2010 (per curiam). The revocation proceedings also complied with the requirements of due process. See generally United States v. Holland, 850 F.2d 1048, 1050-51 (5th Cir. 1988) (per curiam). And the district court s decision to impose the statutory maximum sentence on revocation was not plainly erroneous. See, e.g., United States v. Whitelaw, 580 F.3d 256, 265 (5th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, counsel s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED. See 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2. 2
