Before KING, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Monica

Rayshell Jones has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a

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

Jones has received a copy of counsel’s motion and brief but has

not filed a response.    The Government has moved to dismiss the

appeal based on Jones’s appeal waiver.

     Our independent review of the record and counsel’s brief

discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.    Counsel’s motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further
