                       --------------------
           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 4:04-CR-486-ALL
                       --------------------

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent Samuel Sosa-Hernandez

has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Sosa-Hernandez

received a copy of counsel’s motion but filed no response.

     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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
