                       --------------------
          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 4:05-CR-102-1
                       --------------------

Before BARKSDALE, GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Marcus

D. Hines has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief

pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).           Hines has

filed a response.    Our independent review of counsel’s brief,

Hines’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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