Before JOLLY, JONES, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Arthur Stevens Martins has filed

a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744

(1967), and we have independently reviewed counsel's brief and

the record and have found no nonfrivolous issue.    Accordingly,

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
