           Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Western District of Texas
                     USDC No. 1:03-CR-242-1-LY
                        --------------------

Before BARKSDALE, GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Antonio Meza Ruiz (Meza) has

moved for leave to withdraw from representation and has filed a

brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738

(1967).   Meza has not filed a response.   Our independent review

of the record and counsel’s brief shows that there are no

nonfrivolous issues for appeal.   Accordingly, the motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and this 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
