Before EMILIO M. GARZA, STEWART and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Antonio Eliseo Aguilera-

Reymundo has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as

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

has not filed a response.   Our independent review of the brief

and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue in this direct

appeal.   Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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