           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Northern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 3:04-CR-254-2
                       --------------------

Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Mario

Prado has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as

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

independent review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Prado’s

response, discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.       Counsel’s

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

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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