5th Circuit Opinions

United States of America v. Jason Anthony Dirks - Appeal Dismissed, Counsel Withdrawn

The Fifth Circuit dismissed the appeal of criminal defendant Jason Anthony Dirks after appointed Federal Public Defender counsel filed an Anders brief identifying no nonfrivolous issues for review. The court granted counsel's motion for leave to withdraw and excused counsel from further responsibilities. Dirks did not file a pro se response. The underlying case arose from the Northern District of Texas, USDC No. 2:25-CR-28-1.
