Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The attorney appointed to represent William Ray Phillips

on appeal has requested leave to withdraw and has filed a brief

as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Phillips has received a copy of counsel’s motion but has not

filed a response.

     Our independent review of the brief and the record discloses

no non-frivolous issues for appeal.    Counsel’s motion for leave



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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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

responsibilities, and the appeal is dismissed.
