            Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Eastern District of Texas
                        USDC No. 4:05-CR-96-28
                         --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Alberto Rolando Rios has

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

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

response.   Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Rios’s

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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