           Appeal from the United States District Court

                           April 30, 2002

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Manuel Palacios-Olguin has moved

for leave to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).        A copy of counsel’s motion and

brief was mailed to Palacios, who pleaded guilty to illegal re-

entry into the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. §1326(b);

but he has not filed response.         Our review of the brief filed by

counsel and of the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for

appeal.   Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

counsel is excused from further responsibilities, and the APPEAL IS

DISMISSED.     See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

                                  MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED

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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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