Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent Bruce McKinzie has moved

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

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.   Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to

withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
