           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. M-00-CR-224-8
                       --------------------

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

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Jose Luis Aguilar-Garza, Jr.,

has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to

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

a response to the motion.    Our review of the brief filed by

counsel and of the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for

appeal.   Accordingly, the 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
