                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                             USDC No. 7:06-CR-416-2


Before KING, JOLLY, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Raul Luna, Sr., has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Luna has filed a response. Our independent
review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Luna’s response 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 5 TH C IR. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
