Before DUHÉ, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for John A. Weeks has filed a brief as

required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).            Our

independent review of the brief, Weeks’ response, and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue.    Accordingly, counsel is excused

from further responsibilities herein and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.




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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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