                         --------------------
            Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Northern District of Texas
                        USDC No. 1:04-CR-74-2
                         --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Ruben Valencia Gamboa has moved

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).       Gamboa has filed a

response.   Our independent review of counsel’s brief, the record,

and Gamboa’s response discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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