                            April 13, 2000

Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Dagoberto

Cabrera-Baraona has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

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

Cabrera-Baraona has filed a response.    Our independent review of

the brief, the response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous



issue.   Accordingly, the 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                              -2-

counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the

APPEAL IS DISMISSED.
