Before DAVIS, JONES and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Thomas J. Burbank, court-appointed counsel for Ray Martin,

has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief as required by Anders

v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Martin has received a copy

of counsel’s motion and brief, but has not filed a response.     Our

independent review of the brief and record discloses no

nonfrivolous issue.   Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to

withdraw is GRANTED, 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
