                        USDC No. W-01-CR-67-1

                             June 18, 2002

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court appointed counsel for Juan Hernandez-Linares has moved

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders

v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Hernandez-Linares has

received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a

response.   Our independent review of the brief and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue.   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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
