           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 1:04-CR-162-ALL
                       --------------------

Before GARZA, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The Federal Public Defender representing Manuel Herrera-

Barajas has moved to withdraw and has filed a brief as required

by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).    Our independent

review of Herrera-Barajas’s response, counsel’s 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.        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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
