Before BENAVIDES, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Rafael Zapotitla-Lopez

(Zapotitla) has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Zapotitla was sent a copy of counsel’s motion and brief, but 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.

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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