                           October 19, 2000

Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Gambino Alvara Guevara’s appointed counsel, Jerome Godinich,

Jr., has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as

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

received copies of counsel's motion and brief and has filed a

response.   Our independent review of the brief, Guevara’s

response, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
