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

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Yung-Ming Chen has moved for

leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).   Our independent review of the

brief, Chen’s response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous

issue.   Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,

and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.   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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
