versus

DAVID CHARLES,

                                       Defendant-Appellant.

                         --------------------
             Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Southern District of Texas
                       USDC No. 4:00-CR-823-ALL
                         --------------------

Before GARZA, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent David Charles has

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

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).      Charles has not filed

a response to the motion.     Our independent review of the brief

and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issues for appeal.

Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is

excused from further responsibilities, 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
