Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Marcos Jasso has moved for

leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Jasso has not filed a response.

Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses no

nonfrivolous issue in this direct appeal.      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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
