                             June 15, 1999

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

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Jesus Manuel Galindo-Diaz has

moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).      Galindo 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.    Accordingly, counsel’s 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
