Before JONES, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Attorney Adrianna Martinez Goodland appointed to represent

Ricardo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”) has requested leave to withdraw and

has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967).    Gonzalez has not responded to the motion.   Our

independent review of the brief and the record discloses no

nonfrivolous issues 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                         No.
