          Appeal from the United States District Court
              for the Eastern District of Louisiana
                      USDC No. 98-CR-83-1-G
                       --------------------

                         November 17, 1999

Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Aristobulo Jori-Banguera has

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

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).     Jori-Banguera has

filed no response.   Our independent review of the brief and the

record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.     Accordingly, counsel’s

motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from

further responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.




     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
