      Appeal from the United States District Court for the
                    Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. H-99-CR-557-2

                          November 28, 2000

Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The federal public defender appointed to represent Curtis

Dwayne Grover has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as

required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).     Grover 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, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED.

                                  MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED.


     *
      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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
