           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 2:06-CR-157-ALL
                       --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Hilario Hernandez-Pineda has

moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).     Hernandez-Pineda 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.       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
