Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel appointed to represent Ronald David Colone

(“Colone”) has requested leave to withdraw from this appeal and

has filed a brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967).    Colone has received a copy of counsel’s motion and

brief but has not filed a response.    Our independent review of

the brief and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issues for

appeal.   Counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,




     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

is DISMISSED.   See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
