versus

THEODORO CANDIA-SILVA, also known as Joe Candia-Silva,

                        --------------------
           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 6:01-CR-67-ALL
                        --------------------

Before KING, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Theodoro Candia-Silva has moved

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

v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Candia-Silva has not

responded to counsel’s motion.   Our independent review of the

brief, the supplemental letter brief, and the record discloses no

nonfrivolous issue in this 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
