Before KING, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Luis Juarez-Duran has moved for

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

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Juarez-Duran has filed a

response.   Our independent review of the brief, the record, and

Juarez-Duran’s response 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.



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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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