                        --------------------
           Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Western District of Texas
                      USDC No. 3:04-CR-1582-2
                        --------------------

Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent Rafael Manuel Doporto

has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Doporto has not

filed a response to counsel’s Anders motion.

     Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses

no nonfrivolous issue.   Accordingly, the 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
