          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 2:03-CR-48-1
                       --------------------

Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Juan Ramirez-Hernandez 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 counsel’s brief, Ramirez-Hernandez’s response, and the

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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