Before JONES, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Juan

Antonio Garcia-Resendez has filed a motion to withdraw and a

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

Our independent review of the brief, the record, and Garcia’s

response discloses no nonfrivolous issue.     Accordingly, the

motion to withdraw is granted, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.     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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
