                             April 1, 1999

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Court-appointed counsel for Saul Iglesias-Alanis has filed a

motion and brief as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S.

738 (1967).     Iglesias-Alanis has filed a pro se supplemental

brief in response to counsel’s motion.       Our independent review of

counsel’s brief, the record, and the pro se submission 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
