                        --------------------
           Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Western District of Texas
                      USDC No. 6:05-CR-168-ALL
                        --------------------

Before JOLLY, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for William McDaniel has moved for

leave to withdraw from this appeal and has filed a brief as

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

has not filed a response.

     Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses

no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.   Accordingly, counsel’s 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
