Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Emmanuel Emeka Obi has moved

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

v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Obi has filed a response.

Our independent review of the brief, the response, and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue.   Accordingly, the motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.




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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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