            Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Southern District of Texas
                       USDC No. H-02-CR-142-7
                        --------------------

Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for appellant Billy Loyd White has

moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).     White 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
