           Appeal from the United States District Court

                       USDC No. 1:01-CR-6-ALL

                           April 11, 2002

Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Robert

Earl Wilson on appeal has moved for leave to withdraw and has

filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967).   Wilson has filed a response.   Our independent review

of counsel’s brief, Wilson’s response, and the record discloses

no nonfrivolous issue.   Accordingly, the motion for leave

to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
