                            June 16, 1999

Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Manuel Garza-Garza has moved for

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

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Garza-Garza has not filed a

response.   Our independent review of the brief and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue.   Accordingly, the motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
