Before KING, Chief Judge, and DAVIS and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Oscar

Murillo Becerra has moved to withdraw and filed a brief as

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

have independently reviewed counsel’s brief and the record and

have found no nonfrivolous issue.      Accordingly, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
