Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Nicolas

Rosales-Orozco has requested leave to withdraw as counsel and has

filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967).   Our independent review of the brief, record, and

Rosales’s response 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
