Before JONES, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appointed counsel for Jose Hernandez-Aguilar has moved for

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

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Hernandez 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
