           Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Western District of Texas
                         (EP-00-CR-798-ALL)

                         September 20, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Gerardo Antonio Flores-De La Cruz

a/k/a Jose Delaluz Zubia has requested leave to withdraw as counsel

and has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967).     Flores-De La Cruz has not filed a response.                  Our

independent    review   of   the   brief   and   the   record    discloses    no

nonfrivolous issue.      Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to

withdraw   is     GRANTED,     counsel      is    excused       from   further

responsibilities, and the appeal is DISMISSED.



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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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