Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Alfredo Alvarez-Perez (Alvarez)

has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Alvarez has not

responded to his counsel’s motion.   Our independent review of

counsel’s brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue

for appeal.    Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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