                       --------------------
           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                       USDC No. 4:00-CR-476
                       --------------------

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Adan

Valdivia-De Arcos has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967).   Valdivia-De Arcos has not filed a response.     Our

independent review of the brief and the record discloses no

nonfrivolous issues for appeal.

     Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,

and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.   See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
