BAUDELIO VEGA-VILLARREAL,

                        --------------------
           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                       USDC No. 1:03-CR-476
                        --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender appointed to represent Baudelio

Vega-Villarreal has moved for leave to withdraw and has filed a

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

Vega-Villarreal has not responded to counsel’s motion.

     Our independent review of the brief filed by counsel and the

record discloses no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.     Counsel’s

motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from

further responsibilities herein, and the 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
