Before KING, Chief Judge, and DAVIS and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit
Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Juan Guadalupe Sanchez-Ramos

moves to withdraw and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.

counsel’s motion and brief but has not filed a response.   Our

independent review of the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue.

Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED,

that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
