                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Western District of Louisiana
                            USDC No. 1:03-CR-10014-1


Before KING, STEWART and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Troy Lynn Ford has
moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Ford has not filed a response. Our independent
review of the record and counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is
excused from further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
See 5 TH C IR. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
