          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Eastern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 1:02-CR-49-1
                       --------------------

Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender representing Jose Luis Morales-

Salazar (Morales) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Morales was sent a copy of counsel’s motion and brief, but has

not filed a response.   Our independent review of the brief and

the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.

Accordingly, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                          No. 02-41320
                               -2-

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
