            Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Northern District of Texas
                          (4:98-CR-93-1-Y)

                            June 15, 1999

Before POLITZ, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*
          Moving for leave to withdraw, the Federal Public Defender
appointed to represent Paula Cardosi has filed the requisite brief

pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).              A letter

explaining Cardosi’s right to respond, with a copy of the motion and
the brief, were sent to Cardosi; but she has not filed a response.
Our   independent    review   of   the   brief   and   record   discloses   no
nonfrivolous issue for appeal.      Accordingly, the motion for leave to

withdraw is GRANTED; the appeal is DISMISSED.

                                     MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL 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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the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.
