             Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Southern District of Texas
                        USDC No. 2:04-CR-134-1
                         --------------------

Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Raul Lara-Lopez has moved for

leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).       Lara-Lopez has not responded to

his counsel’s motion.     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 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
