             Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Eastern District of Texas
                          USDC No. 1:93-CR-9-2
                          --------------------
                              June 15, 2000

Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Craig

Anthony Sorrell has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as

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

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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