                      --------------------
          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                    USDC No. L-03-CR-390-ALL
                      --------------------

Before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Martin Torres-Juarez has

filed a motion for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as

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

Juarez has not filed a response.     Our independent review of the

brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this

direct appeal.    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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
