Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The lawyer appointed to represent Boderick Lamothe on appeal

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Our independent

review of the brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous

issue for appeal.   Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities in this

case, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
