Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Counsel for Daniel Henderson, Roy Molina, the Federal Public

Defender, has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief

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

Henderson has filed a response.   Our independent review of the

brief, the response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous

issue for appeal.   See id.   Accordingly, counsel's motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS DISMISSED.   5TH CIR.
