Before STEWART, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Manuel

Enrique Moreno-Gomez on appeal has moved for leave to withdraw

and has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967).    Moreno-Gomez has filed a response.

     Our independent review of counsel’s brief, Moreno-Gomez’s

response, and the record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for

appeal.   Accordingly, the motion for leave to withdraw is

GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein,

and this appeal is DISMISSED.    See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.


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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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