     Counsel appointed to represent Jose Martin Ruiz has

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

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Although Ruiz was

informed of his right to respond, he has declined to do so.        Our

independent review of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no

nonfrivolous issue.   Accordingly, the motion for leave to

withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
