UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

versus

MICHAEL JEAN TRAHAN,
                                         Defendant-Appellant.

                       --------------------
          Appeal from the United States District Court
              for the Middle District of Louisiana
                      USDC No. 03-CR-34-ALL
                       --------------------

Before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Michael Jean Trahan has moved

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

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

filed a response.    Our independent review of the brief and the

record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this direct appeal.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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