Before EMILIO M. GARZA, STEWART and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Rogelio

Garcia has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as

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

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

and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.   Accordingly, the

motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from

further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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