          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. M-01-CR-424-01
                       --------------------
                           June 18, 2002

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

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Primitivo

Oviedo-Galvan has moved for leave to withdraw, filing a motion

and brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Oviedo-Galvan has not filed a response.   Our independent review

of the record and counsel’s Anders motion and brief discloses no

nonfrivolous issue for appeal.   Accordingly, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
