          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. H-98-CR-128-1
                      --------------------
                       September 14, 2000

Before EMILIO M. GARZA, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Pablo

Gutierrez-Carillo (“Gutierrez-Carillo”) has moved for leave to

withdraw and has filed a brief as required by Anders v.

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Gutierrez-Carillo has not filed

a response.    Our independent review of the brief and the record

discloses no nonfrivolous issue.    Accordingly, the motion for

leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further

responsibilities herein, and the APPEAL IS 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
