          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. H-03-CR-112-1
                      --------------------

Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Alfredo

Molina-Romero has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Molina has not responded to the motion.   Our independent review

of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue

for appeal.    Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

counsel is excused from further responsibilities, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
