          Appeal from the United States District Court
              for the Middle District of Louisiana
                     USDC No. 3:04-CR-31-ALL
                       --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Chad A. Hamilton has moved

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief in accordance with

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).       Hamilton has not

filed a response.    Our independent review of the record and

counsel’s brief discloses no nonfrivolous issue for 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
