           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. 4:03-CR-407-1
                       --------------------

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

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Alejandro Sanchez Barajas has

requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief as required by

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).      Barajas was informed

of his right to respond but has not done so.     Our independent

review of counsel’s brief and the record discloses no

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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