           Appeal from the United States District Court

                       USDC No. 99-CR-70-4-T

                         February 20, 2003
Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent Ronald Davis has moved

to withdraw as Davis’s counsel and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).       Davis has not

filed a response to the motion.     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, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
