           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. L-03-CR-119-1
                       --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Narcisco Paco Rivera-Lazaro

(Rivera) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as

required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).       Rivera

has not responded to counsel’s motion.   Our independent review of

counsel’s brief and supplemental 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, 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
