          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Northern District of Texas
                    USDC No. 3:99-CR-79-ALL-L
                       --------------------
                          August 22, 2000

Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Kenneth

Lee Bugg (Bugg) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

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

Bugg received copies of counsel's motion and brief but has not

filed a response.   Our independent review of the brief 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.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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